What are the best GMAT books that are currently being recommended?

Ran a search and finding a lot of folks from c. 2012-2014 posting about their GMAT strategies and stories. Encountered some pretty useful seeming posts, but wondering if the advice has gotten outdated since then - particularly with respect to GMAT guides.

Can anyone who's taken the GMAT recently (within the past year?) chime in with the latest word? Seems to be a strong preference towards MGMAT's 8 books + MGMAT's online questions + official GMAT guides for those question banks. That said, I can't even tell what the most current version of the MGMAT 8 book guide is now.

Any tips?
