I really enjoyed the Bane Trilogy by Lucerno
the Darth Plageous book to me was excellent because it gave a bunch of back story to Palpatine.
the best series was the trilogy around revenge of the Sith
Labaryth of Evil, Revenge of the Sith and Dark Lord the rise of Darth Vader.
I find much of the post ROTJ stuff to be terrible where you have a bunch of massively over powered Jedi fighting massively stupid enemies (A slab of meat painted gold) or super Weapons (eye of Palpatine)
While I did enjoy the fall of Jacen Solo in the and the new civil war, the Vong stuff got stupid, as did the Fate of the Jedi series which tried to link to the Clone wars.
The old republic books were decent.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate the Thrawn trilogy, he was just underwhelming in that series and you never felt that our heros were in trouble and the whole Joorus C'boath Luuuuke clones made me cringe.
