I read Permutation City first out of those, and really liked the first half. The second half went a bit strange, to my view (I don't think that's really a spoiler!). His more recent books seem to have suffered from that sort of thing less. Luminous was another good collection of shorts, but I think Axiomatic was more memorable.
Rather like Baxter in his own area, Egan seems to have "strip-mined" a well-defined set of SF concepts through his writing :-)
