I recommend WT, BSC2, NB and Platinum. All of those are good stories.

I dropped all the others you mentioned.

Side answer: TC&TF for sure. I hated ES' book 3 and I find the series in general extremelly overrated (I find it alright at best: book 1 was ok and book 2 was very good, but book 3 was beyond terrible).
