I have a huge love for the Dune series, but by far my favorite is House Atreides. Unlike most people who probably started reading the Dune series with the original novel, Dune, I started with House Atreides. I read House Atreides and the two books that follow in this trilogy and then proceeded to read Dune. I always have such a longing to re-read all these books in this series, but House Atreides still remains my favorite.

None of the books written by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson will compare to the Frank Herbert books, but they are good filler.
Best of the non-Frank Herbert penned Dune novels I've read so far. It is pretty repetitive in places however. Dropping reminders of details really does prevent immersion and made me feel like the authors wished to insult my intelligence, though nowhere as much as in some of the other post-Frank novels.
