NIGTC, as a whole, is the best modern series of commentaries dealing with the Greek (although you may find individual volumes of the Hermeneia series to be their equal - such as the outstanding commentary on Galatians by Betz, and his huge work of nearly 700pp. on the Sermon on the Mount).
I agree with Lane in the main, although I would add that Philippians by O'Brien is another great volume, along with those by France, Thiselton, and Beale already mentioned. I personally found Marshall on Luke, and Davids on James to be rather mediocre, as well as being unconvinced with some of his reconstruction of the background of James' epistle. You should also read Wanamaker on 1 & 2 Thessalonians with a critical eye regarding NPP, as it's influence is readily detected in some of his comments, especially in the discussion of what he labels as Paul's exoridum of 1 Thess. 1:2-10.
