Nothingman is good but I've always found it kind of a drag. It's from that same Low Light/Yellow Moon vein of Jeff's songwriting that I find quite hard to enjoy.
Don't Gimme No Lip is a blast, one of the band's best straight-up garage rockers and the bridge is wonderful.
I'm a pretty solid fan of Sweet Lew too so this was a pretty close call but I can't go past DGNL.

Yellow Moon is absolute garbage. Low Light is one of the best things Pearl Jam has ever done. Let's not compare the two.

I'm with Spenno on LL. It's a drag.

Sweet Lew, No Lip and Nothingman sound like horror movie bad guys

Low Light should win the whole thing.

But I do think the others are a ton of fun. But Nothingman is in a different category.

This should be a shutout.

The "NAIS" and "Other Side" demos, and a few things from his own albums. I agree that "Sweet Lew" is different (it's more of a rap than anything), but I still feel the same way about his voice -- even when he's singing backup for PJ, I feel like he always just seems a little off. It's cool -- not everyone's cut out to be a singer.
Fair enough. I've always found him to be a limited, but competent singer; not a terrible voice, but not particularly interesting, either.
