EPs? I always buy EPs by bands I like. Why wouldn't I? They're just short studio albums.
Singles? Rarely. Only if they have B-sides that can't be found elsewhere.
Boots? Meh. I've almost never heard a bootleg that appeals to me. On the rare occasions that I wind up with one I usually listen to it once and then never listen to it again.
There's a another category here that you left out though: live albums. By and large I don't buy these either but sometimes they can be pretty great. The Roots' Come Alive and Alien Sex Fiend's Too Much Acid? are two incredible examples of live albums IMHO. And I'd go as far saying some of the best jazz albums are live.
