Dorati's recordings of these symphonies are very fine, and I would
recommend them over Bernstein. Collegium Aureum (semi-HIP) has some
very good recordings of 82 (they leave out the trumpets), 83, 85, & 87.
Colin Davis does a great job on #86, possibly on the rest as well. If
your search for Paris symphonies extends through #88 don't miss Reiner.
Alexander Gibson did a great job live in St. Louis with #84, but I don't
know if he recorded any Haydn or not. There are also some good (if not
squeaky clean) recordings of 82-85 with Guenther Wich and a German
orchestra.
