The only value is to those who live there... or that should be the reason for keeping these territories. Gibralter is part of the Commonwealth, and regardless of where it is - and it's right at the mouth of the Med - the only criteria that leads me to believe it should remain British is the wishes of the Gibraltarians. Much like the Falkland Islanders. I don't see us offering the Channel Islands to France, or the USA offering Hawaii to Mexico, even though the islands are geographically closer to Mexico than they are to the USA.

We should let the people who live there decide their own fate.
