Ok. I will attempt some evaluations.
#1 #4 High Peripheral
#2 #5 Midgrade
Everything else Low Peripheral
Here to learn like everybody else.
My evaluation advice is my own opinion.

If the ports on 2 and 5 are gold pinned they should be able to go into connector ends. Looks like a usb port on 2

Yes they are gold pinned. So I guess anything that attached to an otherwise useless board but has good pins can go into connector end? Certainly a good bump from mid grade.

Ive found it mentioned a few times in the forums including one poast from user boardsort. It seems as long as there isn't excessive weight other than the connector it can go in gold ends.

Gemcutter. I can see that option now. Merkman's post had remained idle for quite a while. So. I posted. Even being inexperienced. Merkman posted for help to get a box he is currently packaging for Boardsort. So. I gave him an opinion. Trying to help him out. You mentioned. IF? If those ports are gold plated. And then its IF. Totally gold plated or partial. No side photos. To see ports. He has a lot of posts. With a lot of photos. And. He claims he needed some input. Your input surely will help that box he has to get packed.
Here to learn like everybody else.

If the object has gold pins, flashing, and doesn't have an abundance of ferrous, bulky material, or much of an attached PCB/board, always throw them in connector ends.

2, might be a stretch but 5 is good with no other components and just that gold pinned end. I'd say something no larger than a cell lithium battery if it had a board attached.

2 looks like it can go Low per or maybe even High per depending what's underneath that shielding.

The one piece not labeled in this batch that has the two USB ports at the top of the page can def go connector ends too.

EDIT* 2, shielding looks like a card reader slot, if it is, go Low per.
