If you have clean rips, you should not have to re-rip.  You just need to
clear all the tags and write proper tags.

IMO, there is no one complete tagging solution that suits my needs.  I
use Tag & Rename, accompanied by extensive research from the All-Music
Guide and other sources.

The best way is to decide where you want to end up, then figure out how
to get there.  

In my case I didn't want the year the ALBUM was released, because for
example the Neil Diamond boxed set was released in 1993 but the SONGS
were released over a period of 30 years.  I want "Cherry, Cherry" to
show up when I "browse by year" 1967, not 1993.  That required figuring
out when each song was originally released, a major pain.  But now that
it's done, my collection is much more relevant to my needs.

Other may have different needs.  It's an individual choice. 

I think that one thing that can help all present and future
manipulation of tags is to embed a unique identifier, like a
Musicbrainz ID - from that, it's easy to figure out exactly which
version of a track you have.  Some songs appear on 50 or more albums!
