Rough Guide to Mandarin is the best in my opinion.

I really like my Barron's "Chinese at a Glance." It got me through my first few months well. A friend had the Berlitz, and I remember thinking it was pretty bad.

I got LP Mandarin and it was very useful. Didn't make a comparison with other phrasebooks though so can't really say which one is best.
