Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Scanner is something everyone should like.
- A Scanner Darkly embodies what I love about science fiction. Great authors can use science fiction to share a message about society and PKD nailed it. The second half of the book is some of the more insane writing I've read in the best way
- A Scanner Darkly is good too. I think you can't go wrong with any of those.
- Police officer or detective (Heard about "A Scanner darkly", "Dark Matter")
- A Scanner Darkly and Catch 22 were relistens for me.
Cons
- Some of his best books (that deal directly with mental illness) are; A Scanner Darkly

My favorite two have to be Ubik and A Scanner Darkly personally, but I really enjoy most of them.
I loved Ubik and A Scanner Darkly. Hard to say what is the best because I have not read his entire catalogue, but those two are great.
Those are just a few of the ones off the top of my head that were excellent and short
