This is a forum for people with knowledge of the Bible in its original languages to discuss its manuscripts and textual history from the perspective of historic evangelical theology.
The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.

Perhaps all the posts with more than 20 comments would be a starting point.
The intereviews with Stan Porter and Dan Wallace should be there, along with any other interviews that were done for ETC.
Also any substantive book reviews. The Misquoting Jesus one for sure, and I think the Robinson-Pierpont one too, along with any others of similar length.
The guest blogs by Combs and Snapp, along with any other guest entries that were really mini-articles with clear theses like those, or for that matter, not just guest entries but member entries such as the one by Head that prompted this post.
Holmes' "What are we trying to recover?"
Any blog written by or containing a comment written by Maurice Robinson.
Also, if the list of best-of entires is too long, you may consider doing what Steven Carlson has done. Add a new post that consolidates several related entries via links. And then put only that new post in the best-of sidebar. For example, several posts about Misquoting Jesus could be put together this way, as good several about Snapp's Census numbers conjecture, etc.
my favourite posts are:
1. the ones about left-handed scribes.
2. the ETC annual award ceremony
