Then there is Dark Souls Press Kit, incomplete. If given the chance to have one of the four which would you guys choose?

The problem with stating which item is the "rarest" is that even amongst us collectors we use the term incorrectly. Often what most people actually mean when they say rarest is the most valuable which is not the same thing.
Rarest in this case would simply be whatever item has the least number of copies which appears to be the Borderlands tile followed by the maw concept then the ninja then lastly the dark souls press kit
As for which item is the most valuable that's much much harder to determine because it depends on desirability from both how big the collector base is for that game and how desirable is that specific item. It doesn't help that many collectors don't bother to research much into how rare an item actually is as can be seen with the AC crouching altair statue that is often attributed to 100 or less in existence when we know it's at least 1000 or 2000, or the AC III tomahawk which has popped up so often no way it's limited to 100 either. Yet collectors still pay big money for these items even though there are far rarer AC items out there.
For your most valuable item I would say the Borderlands tile probably followed by the DSII press kit. While the ninja and maw concept are much much rarer I don't believe they have nearly the active collector base or desirable nature of the ds II press kit
