Hi
Without spoilers please, just wanted to know if it is worth going for the Infinite Crisis omnibus or if the TPB with the main story is enough?
Thanks

The omnibus includes some of the lead up series to Infintie Crisis but I don't know which ones. However, there was Countdown to Infinite Crisis, Rann/Thanagar War, Villains United, OMAC Project, and Day of Vengeance that led into Infinite Crisis. It's been years since I read those issues but there were events from those stories that explained parts of Infinite Crisis but I couldn't say if they were essential.
Infinite Crisis suffered from some behind the scenes legal shenanigans related to the rights of Superboy/Superman that unfortunately messed with what Johns & Waid wanted, and what Didio wanted.
I think the story is awesome, though, but the buildup to it was better, so the Omnibus would be the best option. It likely includes the Secret Files story by Wolfman & Ordway that is pretty essential to the entire story.
