I have to say, while I wouldn't have thought it, that Monte's stuff gets the most use from me. Leaving aside the DMG, I've made BoVD a crucial part of my campaign, loved the BoEM, think CoCd20 is fantastic, and generally enjoyed his work, and that of his imprint. Mearles' stuff seems good, and Sean K Reynolds stuff is good too (I'm enjoying the FR stuff for 3e, even if it's a bit high magic for my Campaign...).
But my favourite stuff has to be
BoVD: Cook
Mag. of Faerun: Reynolds
OA: Wyatt
And Manual fot he Planes by... i've forgotten.
I'm a bit official nerd. and i never knew...

Clark Peterson & Bill Webb: Tomb of Abysthor
Speaking of Mearls, "Siege of Durgam's Folly" gets my "Most Overlooked Adventure" award. It's been reviewed extensively on the net, yet only one other reviewer noticed that it's a very good adventure for newer GMs. It's linear enough so new GMs aren't overwhelmed by the adventure (cf. The Banewarrens or ToA), yet does not railroad the PCs, and provides a wide variety of encounters. Very useful and **easy to use** as a model for creating adventures.

I don't think anybody can be familiar with all d20 products, And I don't claim to be.
I would second Gygax's Necropolis. And he has authored at least 5 d20 products: Slayers Guide to Dragons (also good), Necropolis, The hermit, Canting Crew, World Builder Guide, etc..
Others: Monte Cooks' Books of Eldritch Might I & II
Anyway, can somebody list non-WotC authors who have penned 5 or more works.
I can think of
Clark Peterson and Bill Webb
Gary Gygax
Monte Cook
TLGs Stephen Chenault (I think)

In other words: Which product written by an author who has written more than five d20 books do you like the most?
The instant classics
James Wyatt: OA (mechanically brilliant; with a much improved spellcasting list compaired with standard D&D)
Jeff Grubb: Manual of the Planes (there are few books which are this fun to read)
Bruce Cordell: Psionics Handbook
Most Overlooked:
Jesse Decker: Hammer & Helm

Close. Which d20 product written by an author who has written at least five gaming products do you like the most?
But your answers fill the bill.
I too think MotP is a great work by Jeff Grubb.
Psionics Handbook is probably the best d20/3e work by Cordell, but that could change real soon.
Not quite as wild about OA as you are, but would have to concur that it is Wyatt's best work.
Monte Cook's been brought up a couple of times. While I think the DMG is a staple, I lean towards BoEM I or III or Requiem for a God being his best d20 work.
