I've only read TFoR, both versions though.

Games(Story):
1. Halo: CE
2. Halo 2
3. Reach(Even though it shatters the canon*)
4. ODST
5. Halo 3
6. Halo Wars(**)

(Matchmaking[Halo: CE , while fun, had a no online component and cannot be in.])
TIE 1. Halo 3(Funner, yet more flawed)
TIE 1. Reach(A little less fun, yet less flawed)
2. Halo 2(I never truely got into it)
3. Halo Wars(RTS)


*Halo: Reach had one of the deeper, more personal stories, which is why I like it in the face of shattered canon.
**It just made no -blam!- sense.

Contact Harvest is one of the best of the books. People don't like it for the same reason they don't like Cryptum, it's focused on the characters and not the action.

I hated CH because it was just slow. I don't need action, but I need something to damn happen.

Jesus loves you! But I think you're a -blam!-

I love First Strike, FoReach and GoOnyx equally. Favorite would be Halo: CE > Halo 2 > Halo 3 > ODST > Halo Wars.

*Neuvostoliiton hajoaminen oli vain showta
*Saksa on löytänyt uuden tavan vallata Eurooppa ilman yhtäkään panssarivaunua
