Anyway - GREAT books in this list!

Roscoe's books were written right after the war, and contain errors that had no time to be corrected, such as the U.S. submarine claim of sinking a Japanese carrier at Midway. Blair's work is much more recent, and has the benefit of newer information, especially the Japanese accounts of events.
@Yankee-V: I've never heard of the war patrol books, but I'll be looking at getting them now.
