you left out Schriner on your Romans list - Baker Exegetical.
I can hardly think one could leave out Allan Ross’ Holines to the Lord - Commentary on Leviticus. It might be designed for the preacher but it is good biblical theology.
Would not Aune be good for Revelation (WBC)?
or Osborne (Baker Exegetical)
just a couple thoughts.
you should also check out the Denver Journal of Denver Semianry - they have a countinuously updated annotated bilbiography on both OT and NT.

Thanks for the note on Aune - I will add it. As for the others, they are not fully-searchable on Amazon, and thus are not on the list. Also, the list is not meant to be exhaustive, but suggestive.
As a note, this is not meant to be a ‘best picks’ list or ‘top recommendations’ list. These commentaries are ones that can be read in full online, whether I would recommend them or not. For instance, I highly value the ICC commentaries, but they are not on the above list because they are not fully-searchable on Amazon.
Sorry if the explanation at the top of the page was confusing or misleading. Thanks for your interest.
