One of the biggest problems in careful comparisons and validations of methods is the difficulty of trying to agree on a single number for the free energy. If one is not sure of the value of the free energy, fine comparisons of methods are very difficult. Additionally, different programs with different bookkeeping, or parameters that have been rounded in some way can have legitimate small differences in the free energies, obscuring differences in the methods.

The Simple Small Molecule Solvation Benchmark Test Set
This test set was published as part of Paliwal et al.[1] to allow testing differences between different free energy methods, and consists of a series of small molecules, parameter sets for three different software codes, and reference energies.
