Honestly, I'm really not sure. I liked the whole plot behind Crimson Empire - though it wasn't the best, it's one of my personal favorites. And Shadows of the Empire was also decent I thought.
I can't think of which EU material had the best plot - many to pick from. Once someone posts some good ones, I'll think of it. Or maybe tomorrow when I've actually gotten sleep.

It wasn't a good twisy, it was an adequate twist; frankly, I was not certain about its credibility, and it is hardly a startling new idea, with the amnesiac like that.
Despite its adequate nature, KOTOR has mwerely a computer game plot- and for that mater, Baldur's Gate had a better plot than that.
The plot was adequate for a game but would not stand up well outside that medium.
Empire Strikes Back- simple, clean, effective.

I've never understood anyone who thinks Revean is a great character. Other than the fact that you hear a lot of people saying "Oh, he was great"- which is hardly qualification- it is rather implicit to the game design that you never see Revan do anything... except that which you yourself do.
Which makes classing him a great character an interesting exercise in narcissism.

Thrawn Trilogy for sure. Maybe the X-Wing Series as a close second. SotE was great and I loved Crimson Empire (easily the greatest SW comic out there). The NJO was awesome at some points too.
KotOR was alright, but just a video game plot. KotOR II could have easily been up there if they hadn't rushed it.
I agree with Razielim,K2 wouldve been great had LA not rushed it.But I like Dark Empire first,along with Crimson Empire series in at second,followed by Shadows of the Empire going at third.
Kotor series rocks honestly,even if it is just a game.K2 wouldve beaten out K1 for sure if LA hadn't rushed it's release.
I think just about all the books that take place after ROTJ had a good plot. With the exception of the New Jedi Order series. That has to be the worst series ever. If I had to pick any 3 series as my favorite. I would have to pick Thrawn Trilogy. Jedi Acadomy Trilogy and the X-Wing Series.
Cloak of Deception and the trade paperback Jedi Council Acts of War were good for expanding Sidious' plot
Thrawn was the much breath of fresh air that breathed life back into the universe. Truly, out of all the novels been done, when reading the Thrawn Trilogy, I swear I could almost hear John Williams Soundtrack as I was reading.
However, I found the plot of KOTOR predictable. KOTOR II is a better game in a lot of ways but was hamstrung by its rushed release. Sion made a much better villian than Malak.
