So, I bought an Ultimate X-Men tpb (I'm sure they had X-Statix, but my comic book shop is expanding, and things were in disarray over the weekend), and like it quite a bit. I know most of y'all have bitched about their problems over the years, but are any of the Buffy titles worth reading? I have all the Frays and the Tales of the Slayers, both of which I'm so-so on.
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The most recent Angel mini-series was pretty good. I don't know if it'll be out as a TPB, though. It was only four issues.

The most recent Angel mini-series was pretty good.
I was about to recommend the same thing. Make sure you get the most recent four-shot, though - because the previous Angel series was kinda suck-y.
There are some Buffy mini-arcs and one-shots I've enjoyed. Jane's "Jonathon" single book. Jane's post-season three (three-shot?) about the Mayor haunting the scoobs before college started was pretty good. I can find the titles and numbers if you are interested.

Are those available as tpbs, Tina? Also, do you know offhand the name of the recent Angel 4-shot?

Jane's series is called Haunted and it is not avail as a tpb - descriptions are here.
Angel 4-shot is just called Angel Volume 2 Mini-series no tpb of that either, I think. You can find descrip at the bottom four entries on this page.
ETA: Huh. Both of those links take you to the site's home page. Not sure how that works. Anway - in your left hand column select Mini-Series and scroll down to Haunted to see Jane's and select Angel Vol. 2 for the other.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Angel vol 2 was another Joss production.
Joss&co will be soon starting up a new series at Dark Horse, called Tales of the Vampire that will probable will be worth reading.
I enjoyed the first Will&Tara special, the second series a less so, but I am pretty all three issues are available as a trade.

Oh - I am wrong like a wrong thing as usual.
Haunted TPB avail here from the Darkhorse site.
And Angel Vol. 2 is not on their list though.

Not that I'm condoning this, but if you want to preview the 1601 series (and other great comics), they are available on the Bittorent websites in scanned in format.

Also, the collected edition of Fray should be in the stores, with a suggested retail price of $19.95 for the TPB.
It is - I picked it up yesterday.
