Peter O'Brien's Letter to the Ephesians in the Pillar New Testament Commentary is a great place to start!

I should also add you can browse the Logos community reading list in Logos by navigating:

Tools -> Reading Lists -> All lists -> then search "Ephesians"

Hi Orpheus.

I take it this is for your own personal study, rather than adacemic study or preparing small group studies for others to use.

The best commentaries in Logos are often available only in sets, but I'll include those anyway. Suggestions:

Paul for Everyone: The Prision Letters is part of the N T Wright collection. His understanding of Ephesians is superb, and these commentaries are very easy reading. The Chapel Service link (#3, in audio or video) from this Wheaton seminar will give you a taste of how he summarises the book in 24 minutes.
The Message of Ephesians by John Stott is part of the Bible Speaks Today series. These are really good value, and are very readable.
The Letter to the Ephesians by Peter O'Brien is part of the Pillar New Testament Commentary series. This is good solid stuff, and you can buy the Ephesians volume on its own.
The Letters to Philemon, the Colossians, and the Ephesians by Ben Witherington, part of the Socio-Rhetorical Commentary series.

Those are the most useful for you, I think. There are more academc ones such as Schnackenburg, Bratcher/Nida (UBS Handbook), Lincoln (WBC), as well as some less exegetical ones scuh as MacArthur, Lucado, and some older ones.

I've been teaching Ephesians over the last 6 months, so that's my experience FWIW.

These are some great suggestions!

Hopefully soon in Logos but this work is outstanding in Ephesians . . . Harold Hoehner, "Ephesians"

Orpheus, I should also have mentioned Timothy Gombis, even though he is not (yet) available in Logos.

IMHO, Gombis has a superb understanding of the big picture of Ephesians: how it fits together as a unified whole, how the various parts relate to the theme. I've read several of his articles (in journals), but don't actually have this book yet (released just last year):

I second the suggestion of the Hoehner commentary. Even if you can't get it on logos, if you are going to be spending some time in Ephesians, it is worth getting it.

John MacArthur commentary on Ephesians is absolutely tremendous. Clearly Biblical and reformed. http://www.logos.com/product/276/ephesians-the-macarthur-new-testament-commentary. I could not help but to notice one suggestion, but may I add to be very cautious with N.T. Wright because of his view of Justification. Read discerningly.

Martin Lloyd-Jones is excellent. It is essentially his sermons as he preached through Ephesians. Great product to purchase!

If you have "The Bible Speaks Today" series in Logos, John Stott's "The Message of Ephesians" is an excellent resource.

Blessings,
