Great lists!
NICOT/NT, WBC, AB, WBC, and BECNT would all be considered "Technical" commentaries. All excellent but you only need one or two. Unfortunately, the way they are published in Logos you have to get the entire set and choosing NIGTC or BECNT leaves you without OT resources.
TOTC/TNTC, Pillar, and NAC would be considered less technical and give you little on the original language but more on homiletic interpretation. NIVAC falls into this category also and is one of the best in application-based commentaries. I would recommend getting one technical and one application commentary.
ICC has a few great resources (Matthew, Acts, Pastorals, Romans) but also has a lot of dead weight from volumes published in the 1895-1927 span. Better to get individual volumes when they go on sale. I would pick NICOT/NT over AB because the scholarship is more recent. WBC (59 vols) is also very good and at $700 is an excellent value.
Just a note that I bought nearly all my commentary sets for less than current list price. Either wait for a sale or call and negotiate - if you are a pastor or student they usually give discounts. Also if you upgrade and already have some of the books in the new collection they will negotiate prices with you.

This is an oldie, but goody discussion [;)] Imagine my surprise this afternoon when I got an email kicked to me because of this thread. Needless to say it has been awhile.
