I pretty much gave up on the EU after Bantam lost the licence to Del Rey and the prequel stuff came along.

Most of the Bantam stuff ranged from ok to awful and no longer care for it and don't like most of the Dark Horse comics either.

 

I like most things pre-90s that aren't Ewok related:

* Original theatrical cuts of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi --> with some audio fixes of my own

* Novelisations of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi

* Radio Dramas of Star Wars & The Empire Strikes Back (Excluding Return of the Jedi)

* Star Wars Newspaper Strips (Goodwin/Williamson run especially)

* The Han Solo Adventures - Brian Daley

* Splinter of the Mind's Eye - Alan Dean Foster

* The Lando Calrissian Adventures - L. Neil Smith

* Marvel: Star Wars #1-107, Annual #1-3, Return of the Jedi #1-4, Droids #1-8, Pizzazz strip & extra stories printed in Marvel UK titles

* Blackthorne Star Wars 3-D #1-3

* Droids Cartoon Episodes 1-13, The Great Heep Special & Segment from the Holiday Special

* Rebel Mission to Ord Mantell Audio Drama


Of the EU stuff from the 90s, I enjoyed the following:

* Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn

* X-Wing Books - Stackpole/Allston

* The Han Solo Trilogy - Crispin

* Tales of the Jedi comics, Freedon Nadd Uprising, Dark Lords of the Sith, The Sith War, Redemption (This is all good stuff, but I don't think of it as proper Star Wars)

* X-Wing comics

 

I could give or take any of the above in my personal canon, don't really care too much about continuity, Lucasfilm never did...
