I'd start out with the Ellis run. After a couple years hiatus, Ellis/Deodato hit a reset button on the series with a wonderful run; everything since has been in its image. I think the recent Jeff Parker run has been pretty great, although the recent Fear Itself arc was a bit of a letdown. I also dig Kev Walker's artwork, although with his rough-hewn style his women aren't the prettiest, and one of the hallmarks of Thunderbolts for me has always been pretty Songbird.
