I'd imagine that 'Revenge...' although now sought after now, would be one of the more popular Jeff releases, whilst many of their trailers soon became almost impossible to find. E.g. it took me about 30 years to get their 'Dragonslayer' trailer and I'm still looking for 'Welcome To My Nightmare'.
There was another US company that released a very small number of individual trailers around the early or mid 80s. They were possibly orientated towards rock music as the only prints I've seen from them are the trailers to 'The Kids Are Alright' (The Who) and 'The Song Remains the Same' (Led Zeppelin). I'd imagine that these are amongst the rarest trailers around.
One I have that I'd suspect is also pretty rare is the trailer to the obscure 1992 British animated film 'Freddie as F.R.O.7.'. This was released by CEC soon afterwards. More recently, I expect some of the final Derann trailer releases have quickly become rare. I think the very last was 'Die Hard 4.0' (2007) and as by then the lab was incapable of quickly producing prints to capitalise on a modern film's release, Derann hardly seemed to promote it, knowing it was the end of the line. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe just one batch of possibly 20 were printed.

Hi Adrian, the colour on your "Evil of Frankenstein" should be
okay as it will be printed on reversal, the print & colour on mine
is lovely.They also did "Spectre of Edgar Allen Poe" in colour
which I forgot to mention in my above post,along with the trl to
"Scrooge" when Derann had a hire print in their catalogue.
I can't think of any other colour trls in std 8, but if there's one
thing I've learned Adrian, it's that someone will produce one.
As for other distributors,I can't bring any to mind,I know that
Perry's did the trl to Phantom plus an edited 50' reel of the
unmasking scene,I was wondering if Barry Wiles did any for his
"Sweeney Todd" & "Crimes at the Dark House",there was some
weird and wonderful stuff in those early days.That's when Derann's sales list was two sides of an A4 sheet of paper,Xeroxed in type face.I can't think of any from Powell, I
would think you're right and DFS were probably the only one
printing trailers.
