They're all good ones, they're his three readable novels. Mason & Dixon is like someone took a brick to the head and then wrote an 800 page book, Against The Day is like some weird gay pedophile fantasy with a blimp, and Gravity's Rainbow is just

the book.
Vineland is when he looked at Crying Of Lot 49 and realized that he could have actually written something readable instead of his paranoid ramblings about the US postal service he thought up when he was coming down off of black beauties or whatever speed they were taking back then.
Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge are actual novels, with actual plots. It took him until he was in his 70s to start writing anything that made sense, but those are objectively the only coherent written works he published. They're pretty good, too. Everything else is mid-to-gibberish, undergrad poetry class, i just learned about philosophy level wankery.
