My favourite of all is Falconer's Lure, which is a holiday book that comes the summer after the twins' first year at Kingscote. I also like Run Away Home, the very last one, a lot as well, and all the bits of Peter's Room which aren't Bronte and Gondal.
Generally speaking though, I'd recommend reading the holiday books because they shed so much light on the school books. As you say, there are so many references to things in the school books that are never properly explored or explained! And if you can get hold of GGB editions they shouldn't cost TOO much to track down...
PS Thuggery Affair is my least favourite too: really struggled with the dialect stuff.
