I'd start with the most appealing casts and go from there--except keep the histories in some semblance of historical order. Actually I'd divide theme in two arcs: 1) Henry VI (all parts) to Richard III and 2) Richard II, Henry IV (both parts), Henry V.
I started to listening to these really cool recordings with really famous casts last fall but I never kept up with it. (Only got through The Tempest, which had Jennifer Ehle among others.) I never have problems following stage versions, but purely audio versions are hard to follow--even when you're familiar with it--without the text. Well, at least for me. I wonder if you're planning on listening to the same. Of course, the name escapes me now.
I always liked King Lear. I hate Macbeth, though. I blame a bad teacher in 11th grade.
