Allright, I'll try to answer Prussia first.
There was no decoration for being mentioned in dispatches.
However, it was considered a special honour to receive an autographed photo of the Kaiser or a handwritten letter of commendation.
As Pablo already said, the order of the black eagle (which takes precedence even over the pour le merite) was rarely awarded to non-royalty.
You have also missed the House Order of Hohenzollern, which was given out below the crown order but above the iron cross 1st class.
So the correct order should be:
Order of the black eagle (if you want to include it)
Pour le mérite
Order of the red eagle
Handwritten letter of commendation by the Kaiser
Order of the crown
House order of Hohenzollern
Autographed photograph of the Kaiser
Iron cross 1st class
Iron cross 2nd class
Letter of commendation from Tirpitz/Scheer or any other admiral
uboot-war badge
I am going to end this post here as I am writing from a wireless connection. More on Prussia later.
