Really all depends on what kind of BR songs tickle your fancy.
If you liked most of their early stuff, I recommend picking up 80-85, especially since it has some of BR's best songs on it. Or, if you can find a vinyl of How Could Hell Be Any Worse? you should mail it to me immediately.
If you're more interested in their late 80s-early 90s stuff, the best album you can get is Suffer, which is what I consider BR's best album and one of the best albums ever. Another good collection fo tracks is All Ages, which is sort of like a "Greatest Hits" album that includes various tracks from Suffer, Against the Grain, Generator, No Control, and 80-85.
Or, if you like their more recent stuff, The Gray Race is the way to go, my personal pick for second or maybe third best BR album. Or, you can always go for the newest album and get The Process of Belief, which is probably their best album since The Gray Race.
The only other advice I can give is to stay far, far away from No Substance. Bleh.
