For exegesis, from the Greek, Lightfoot is still excellent. From English, Wilson provides a collocation of traditional reformed comment. Hendriksen is balanced as always. John Brown is his usual self in being able to trace through the line of thought and offer insightful remarks. For preaching and application there is the ever reliable James Fergusson. For a quick overview I recommend Bill Dumbrell's New Covenant Commentary, who interacts with new scholarship and finds a way to present his conclusions according to the old evangelical faith. There are others which might be consulted, but it depends how much one desires to step into the deep of modern thought. In any commentary on Galatians the key text is chap. 2:16.
