It's a trade off you probably don't want everything you can in 4k since it will take alot more space. It is pretty easy to tell 720p vs 1080p. 4k is noticeable if your really looking at the detail but 1080p is fine as well.
If your going to upgrade some of the TV's to 4k I would just get a roku ultra or NVIDIA Shield for the older tv's and then you should be able to direct play most files and you won't have to worry about transcoding or keeping multiple versions of one file.
For the TV with the bad signal, you can set a max streaming bitrate on a device, 1080P should still be fairly low bandwidth but you can play around with it.
