So in short...

Originals > Remakes
Remake sequels > original sequels

This isn't always true of course, but it might be true in terms of continuity.
Yeah that does make sense, because a lot of the original directors did not make the films even thinking they would be so popular and they were also low budget, so they definitely did not plan on sequels. Good point.
