They're all good
Depends what you want though
Insight is easy and gives confidence boost, with a few little nifty tricks
NEAP and LisaChem are pretty good allround, so good for learning stuff
STAV is too

I like STAV, NEAP and Lisachem.

STAV tends to be about VCAA standard (imo, anyway) whilst NEAP and Lisachem are generally a bit harder, but they have some really good questions here and there.

CSE and Insight tend to make quite a lot of mistakes in the answers (and sometimes questions! :O) so be wary when you are marking those papers.

If I remember correctly, Insight 2011 has a major mistake in one of its questions. The equation was not even balanced and this resulted in the solutions being completely wrong. I believe it was the one with the equilibrium law... I'll have to look back on it.
