Marvel Knights Spider-Man mini-series #1-5
The Matt Kindt/ Marco Rudy mini-series probably rates as an interesting failure. The art is gorgeous, they've got Peter Parker's voice right, and there are some great moments, but the overall story with Spider-Man facing most of his major faces just doesn't deliver.

Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #5
Some interactions between Spidey and Jean take an added poignancy given where her story's going. Ace isn't a particularly memorable addition, and I could see why the art trend evident here isn't remembered. There are some interesting questions on how Spider-Man can do the right thing with difficult problems (gang violence.)

Web of Spider-Man #11-12
Read this, because it might lead into Death of Jean Dewolfe. It's an interesting story about Peter Parker becoming a famous vigilante, even if it is quite disjointed with three credited writers (Fingeroth plotted Act 1, Mantlo wrote it, PAD wrote Part 2.)

Spiral. I quite liked it.

Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #107-110
Hadn't read this in a few years. Still one of the best Spider-Man stories ever. Very ambitious project for Peter David, at that point in his first year as a comic book writer. But he pulled it off.

Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #112
The resolution to the Evil Santa subplot. Okay story about Peter almost missing opportunities to spend time with loved ones.
