The Best Corporate Finance Text
Could anyone recommend the best corporate finance Textbook to buy?
I've noticed there are numerous corporate finance textbooks that universities use. I only want to buy one or two of them that is considered the best and use it as a reference book.

For my finance classes I've only used these so far which are more for undergrad, but I'm looking for something that MBAs use. These were the ones for my undergrad.
Essentials of corporate finance (2nd Edition)
by Stephen Ross, Randolph Westerfield, Bradford Jordan
Fundamentals of corporate finance (3rd Edition)
by Jonathan Berk, Peter DeMarzo, Jarrad Harford
I found myself enjoying Berk and Demarzo's book better, and I don't like textbooks from McGraw-Hill.

I've noticed Wharton uses these texts more from their courses
corporate finance (10th Edition)
by Stephen Ross, Randolph W. Westerfield, Jeffrey Jaffe
Principles of corporate finance (11th Edition)
by Richard Brealey (Author), Stewart Myers (Author), Franklin Allen
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harvard & Stanford use this (Which is almost exactly the same content as my Essentials of corporate finance, but with a lot fewer chapters.
corporate finance (3rd Edition)
by Jonathan Berk, Peter DeMarzo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I've also noticed these texts from other universities
Financial Management: Theory & Practice (13th Edition)
by Eugene F. Brigham , Michael C. Ehrhardt
Fundamentals of corporate finance (2nd Edition)
by Robert Parrino, David S. Kidwell, Thomas Bates
corporate finance: Theory and Practice (2nd Edition)
by Aswath Damodaran
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could also just buy the CFA book, but I have no idea how good the text is
corporate finance: A Practical Approach (2nd Edition)
by Michelle R. Clayman, Martin S. Fridson, George H. Troughton

Which text do you guys recommend, and what did you like and dislike from the ones you've used? Thanks I appreciate it.
Most of the senior people around the office here have a well-used copy of the Brealy, Myers, Allen Principles of corporate finance on their shelf, and for good reason. It's an excellent and comprehensive text. Although I don't have any personal experience with the other books mentioned here, I would be curious to read through Damodaran's text having really liked his investment valuation book.
