I read all the Tortall based books that were out in... 2005ish for the first time. The first set I read was Protector of the Small which I would highly recommend. I absolutely love Kel and her spirit, and especially the fact that she's just a normal girl -- she doesn't have any magical abilities. My second favourite series is the Immortals quartet. I love all of her books but these are the two sets that I reread nearly every year.
Her more recent Terrier was super good too -- can't wait to get my hands on Bloodhound!
As for Alanna I have to say... while I enjoy all of Pierce's books there was always something about Alanna that annoyed me. Maybe it is because she falls into way more of the cliches. Though I have the same sort of "it's good but..." feeling for her daughter in the two Trickster books. ::shrugs::
I've never read any of the Circle books (though I recently read Melting Stones which I think is set in that world), would you recommend them?
