From the classic era, I would have to say Heir to the Dragon it my favorite. the warrior triolgy is a close second. the Victor Milan - Camachos Cabalero Merc unit books were pretty good as well. if you ever find a copy of The Sword and the Dagger it is a good book as well. I haven't read it in a while beacuse mime it 25+ years old and yellowing and i dont want to tear it up. but if you put it out on kindle I would buy another copy.
i know this thread is about the classic era, but Mechwarrior Darkage: A Target of Opportunity and the Battlecorps Series: A Bonfire of Worlds were both great. A Bonfire of Worlds has a awesome ending. It will change your whole preception on the republic of the sphere.
From the BattleCorps stuff, My Favorite was the Proflieration Cycle. It was great to see how each of the great houses got Battlemech technology. Also the founding of the Clans was good as well.

I'd have to go with Lethal Heritage. Much of it is spent developing the characters, but the big reveal at the end is SO worth it.

If I had to choose though, I guess I'd choose Way of the Clans

Stackpole really shaped the overall Classic timeline and events more than the other writers, so for overall impact, I would have to go with the Warrior series. Others writers really picked it up with the Clan timeline books, but when the writers started writing actions for other writer's characters, it felt a little discombobulated. There really should have been a Jihad series or novel to tie Twilight of the Clans to Dark Ages ( I have heard talk of something in electronic format), but with all the writers in at the end writing about major events, there were too many loose ends to tie up. Dark Age was a little hard to get into and follow with all the splinter groups and political alliances with no real background information to hang the stories on. I used to have all the books except the Sword and the Dagger. Beat the hell out of those books and gave them to a buddy to enjoy.
