Zizek's most valuable quality is his teaching skills. He is a very good introduction to the revival of Hegel through Lacan (both are considered obscure). He's pretty much a black-belt in philosophy and his politics brings new light to Marxist practice and theory. His lectures on youtube are recommended (egs series), books available on TPB. One must also add that his "hysteric" discourse can be chaotic, but very resourceful.

Badiou's style of writing is his finest quality, that is, if he's not doing a weird synthesis of mathematics and politics (without high level knowledge of logic, math, and Lacan's mathemes you shouldn't even bother starting some of his books). He has a very radical edge, can prove to you in only two pages in understandable terms why "Democracy" is the biggest enemy of the people currently. He has a unique approach to aesthetics, which you should read if you are an artist.

Judith Butler is pretty much despised the former two. She understands Hegel pretty well, but goes into identity politics, which is just dumb.

Rancière you should consider as well. If you are interested in such books, seek Simon Gros on fuckbook.
