I picked Interstellar Expeditions, for the others I already have more than one sourcebook.
Also I think it will be a great source for AToW, as this is a get out of your cockpit and into the action field.

Interstellar Expeditions, definitely  [rockon]

By far has the biggest potential, and could easily be the most refreshing from the three.

Interstellar Expeditions as well. This sounded promising when it was introduced in ISP, and has not been, AFAIK -but I may err-, has not been developped yet to its full potential. Let's see what you developpers can come up with on that matter!  ;)

It would depend on what is in these products. 

If it's just going to be a new version of MechWarrior's Guide to Solaris, I'll pass.  If it's going to be closer to the box set and the Reaches with a duelling system and rules for gambling and how to run a Solaris League season, I'd definitely be on board with that.

I thought the Guide to Covert Ops was a poor followup to Intelligence Operations Manual and one of the worse BT products ever made.  The only way I would even consider buying it would be if it was an online only update to the various Intelligence agencies.

I'd be very excited about Interstellar Expeditions if it was mostly concerned with what and who is in the Deep Periphery.  The closest we got to the was Explorer Corps and even that was pretty limited to the area between the Inner Sphere and the Clans.

Interstellar Expeditions. Might shed some more light on what happened in the Jihad and what is going on afterwards.

Going by title alone my first choice would be Interstellar Expeditions, Post-Jihad then Solaris, Post-Jihad followed by Covert Ops, Post-Jihad

IE to have the campaign rules for expeditions sounds interesting, I have always enjoyed solaris but while covert ops sounds good I just like the sould of t he others better.

Hello,

Oh, I do so love it when the popular opinion mirrors what I was going to do anyway...

Thank you,
