I prefer the Ripped in 30 to the 30 Day Shred. There is less jumping and pounding on my knees in the RI30 so I can do more of the workout.
I have gotten great results from both workouts though, if I kept up with them. Those are the only two I have tried. No, that's a lie LOL I did her yoga meltdown also and LOVED it. It isn't true yoga but I still enjoyed it.
I love JM! Lots of people find her annoying but I love her workout style. The only one I'm not a big fan of is kickboxing but have only done it a few times.

This is funny because I just got back from best buy to buy 6 pack in 6 weeks! I needed some kind of an work out to be able to do at home. I haven't tried it yet.. clearly but there's a bunch of her DVDs on sale at best buy for 9.99
I have done a few of her workouts - 30 day shred and a couple of random videos which I cannot remember the name of. They are good workouts. I get bored with workout videos though so I never stick with them very long.
I have her 30 day Shred, No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. My least favorite is BFBM, but mostly because I feel like a truck hit me when I am done, it is a killer workout. I have never been able to get through all 7 circuits. Some of them are pretty intense on my knees, so that is the ones I tend to skip.
I love her DVD's and her style, yes after doing some of her dvd for several days in a row, I have to put her on mute because I cannot listen to her say "Don't phone it in" one more freakin time that week. But her workout is great.
I really want to try 6 pack in 6 weeks and since I see Best Buy has her DVD's on sale right now, I guess I will be running to Best Buy later today! Also check out Target for her DVD's, I picked up her Yoga one for $6 one time, it is not my favorite, but I think I am going to give it another chance.

I "hate" Jillian but only because her workouts are so good that I hurt like hell afterwards. But seriously I love her workout tapes. If you stick with them they really give you results. My by far favorite is the no more trouble zones. My friend says she has a new one called shed and shred and I'm going to try that one next. I did the 6 week 6 pack abs yesterday ad I can barely walk and my lats are killing me. I definitely recommend doing them. Sometimes amazon has bundles of her DVDs at good prices.
I have many JM workouts. 30 day shred, No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat, Kickbox, and Yoga.
If you are a new or moderate exerciser, any of these are good workouts. She gets decent results and I recommend them.
If you are a more experienced/advanced exerciser, these will be easy. I have done the Insanity, Asylum, P90x, p90x2 and TapOut workouts and after doing any of those, these Jill workouts seem like a day off.
I still love Jill though and have just bought her Body Rev 90 extreme series. I am only three weeks in on phase one and so far it is easy. i hope it gets more challenging for the next two phases. We shall see...

I've only done the RI30 twice I think.
I had great results with the 30 day shred and her 6 week 6 pack (lost 4 inches off my hips/waist!).
I have had 2 knee surgeries and her workouts are usually a little intense on squats & lunges that make my knee hurt.
