I've read most, if not all of the "novels" put out by each one of them.
Herbert is still my favorite out of McCaffrey, Eddings, and Herbert, although,
there are a few works by Herbert I did not really enjoy. Godmakers is probably
one of those.  Besides Dune, one of my favorite is The Dosadi(sp?) Experiment.
Of McCaffrey's novels, the ones I liked the least were the Dragonsinger's
series.  Dragon-riders was passable along with Moreth.  Her non-serialized
works, are on the whole, pretty good.  Eddings was good at the beginning of
his Belgariad series because of the freshness, but seemed to go down hill a
bit in Endgame.

I've read many of the Pier's Anthony books too and I think that Bio of a
Space Tyrant has got to be his worst (in my opinion that is).  If I had been
a slower reader, I would have passed away somewhere in the middle I'm sure.
As it was, I barely survived to the end of vol. 1.
