I was given The Dune House Trilogy, Heretics and Chapterhouse as a present. I read them all then Messiah and Children before reading the Butlerian Trilogy and Hunters of Dune.
I am yet to read Dune, God Emperor, Sandworms, Paul, Winds and Sisterhood. Any suggestions on the order?

Anything in the series 'only written by Herbert himself'. I say this as his son did not seem to understand the core vision. This is stated upon the basis of linguistic finger-print. Also, the etymological and semantic variance are enough to see the aforementioned ideology at a far cry from the original modus operandi. Also, the lexicon of terminological significance pales under drastic textual analysis and comparison. Frank Herbert did indeed create a knowledge base of terms not found within latter works not authored by the progenitor.
Frank Herbert:
Dune (1965)
Dune Messiah (1969)
Children of Dune (1976)
God Emperor of Dune (1981)
Heretics of Dune (1984)
Chapterhouse: Dune (1985)
Frank Herbert:
Dune (1965)
Dune Messiah (1969)
Children of Dune (1976)
God Emperor of Dune (1981)
Heretics of Dune (1984)
Chapterhouse: Dune (1985)
i would read sisterhood, winds, Dune, Paul, god emperor and last sandworms. reason being that is the chronicle order. (acording to wikipeadia). i personally like to read in chronicle order because they could give insight on what has previously happened.
I still haven't read Sisterhood. I think that's the only one I'm missing so far. So I need to check that one out.
Publication order, always.
It's up to you whether you want to continue with the Herbert/Anderson continuations/prequels.
Some people like them, others consider them an abomination. (Hmmm ...that sounds familiar.)
Personally, I enjoy them even if they aren't anywhere as good as the originals.
But it's really not a fair comparison. It's like saying my adequately satisfying lunch today was no where near as good as the best meal I ever ate. Dune is a classic for a reason. Nothing no latter day spin could ever compare.
