I won't list Malhavoc stuff, because that'd just be cheesy.

1. Complete Arcane - I was worried that my gaming group was going to get into a brawl over who got to play a warlock first.

2. Unearthed Arcana - I love optional rules. The flaws have been a lot of fun in my Eberron campaign.

3. Complete Warrior - I really liked the spread of prestige classes and the new feat types.

4. Fiend Folio - My players still wince when this book hits the table.

5. Eberron Campaign Setting - My current campaign takes place here. It's a fun place for a game, and I've found that it's easy to get players to buy into the tone.

I really liked Frostburn, Libris Mortis, and Draconomicon, and I underrated Complete Divine when I first bought it, but the above 5 see serious use in my current campaign. Tome of Horrors and Book of Vile Darkness are also up there, but for some reason I haven't used them lately, which is just silly on my part.

Good question.

Complete Book of Eldritch Might
Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting
Fiend Folio
Eberron Campaign Setting
DragonMech

I get a ton of use out of the first three, and the last two are among the most enjoyable gaming books I've ever read (and as yet are unused).
