Playing each one quite slow is a good tip there: play slower than your normal speed, and use a metronome to keep you on track. That way you can focus on the sound of each note, and experiment with dynamic attack. That's critical for classical guitar, but pays dividends on steel-string too.

Exactly right.
The temptation with these is to just blow through each one in order to get through them all. That's a trap leading to a complete waste of your precious time.
There's no rule as to which ones to practice first. You can do them sequentially, or in groups, or individually. That's not really the main issue.
If you just take one, any one, and focus all your attention on the goals that JonPR outlined, it will be beneficial. No matter what music you play.
