It also goes without saying that the length of the film and amount (and resolution) of special features should be taken into account as well.

It's almost impossible to compare blu-rays using their filesize because pretty much all discs will have differing audio options and extras.

I'd say a better indication of quality is the bitrate.

Thanks guys, great info! How would I go about checking bitrate for each blu-ray disc, if that' something I wanted to do?
