These were among the first DW audio dramas I ever got. I started with some of BF's Ole Sixie stories, but these sounded interesting so I got them and listened. But I've never had or made the time to re-listen. (there's like 160 hours of podcasts, interviews and unheard audio dramas on my main MP3 player at the moment!)
Those other two titles, I wish I had an answer, but I've never heard them.
As for the BBC's HN, DQ and SC, As far as I remember the copies I got bought for D/L back then, were pretty plaining numbered.
Some very fast Googling came up with this list (IIRC, this is the same order as I consumed them back then:
Hornet's Nest - orig release dates, Sept to Dec 2009:
1.1 The Stuff of Nightmares 1.1.1 1.2 The Dead Shoes 1.2.1 1.3 The Circus of Doom 1.3.1 1.4 A Sting in the Tale 1.4.1 1.5 Hive of Horror 1.5.1
Demon Quest - original release dates, Sept to Dec 2010:
1.1 The Relics of Time 1.1 1.2 The Demon of Paris 1.2.1 1.3 A Shard of Ice 1.3.1 1.4 Starfall 1.4.1 1.5 Sepulchre 1.5.1
Serpent Crest - original release dates, Sept to Dec 2011:
1.1 Tsar Wars 1.1 1.2 The Broken Crown 1.2.1 1.3 Aladdin Time 1.3.1 1.4 The Hexford Invasion 1.4.1 1.5 Survivors in Space 1.5.1
The main impression I remember getting from my first (and to date, only) listen was that the stories and storytelling got progressively better as the series progressed.

I have this at home and have to say it is among my least favourite DW stories.

I know I didn't exactly fall in love with them myself either. Especially the first series. But I found they got better over time, thanks to a move away from straight-readings and more towards full-cast drama, which I think suits Tom Baker better than any other audio format.

The third set of releases is the best for production with an almost full cast rendition. I don't know if it's the best storywise, there are parts of the first series that are just genius ideas and I could see them on TV but Tom's narration is very...Tom, rather than the Doctor. I'm actually glad he did them before BF because by the time he gets to the BF releases he's in full on Doctor mode rather than semi parodying himself.
