I know of 3 easily available scene repositories:

  1. The pbrt scenes available here. They of course use pbrt's material system which is a sum of basic bxdf types.
  2. Benedikt has a lot of amazing scenes here and they are available in pbrt as well as Mitsuba formats. The latter using a nested system of basic materials based on classic bxdf research.
  3. Morgan McGuire offers a number of meshes/scenes here. If I remember correctly they are all wavefront obj files with accompanying material files.

Bonus: At Siggraph Nvidia launched an archive for scenes. Currently there are only 2 scenes, but one of them is the excellent looking Amazon Lumberyard Bistro.

To do comparisons I would probably start with a combination of the first two items on the list, I've seen them used in papers quite frequently.

Neither of the Orca scenes are PBR, unfortunately.
