I'm tempted to try the Spiderweb stuff out, but can't really decide to begin with which yet.
From what I understand, the main differences between Geneforge and Avernum are:
1. Party composition. Geneforge is solo with personal creatures, Avernum is team based. In some way it's like Geneforge = Fallout while Avernum = Eye of the Beholder.
2. Avernum is more combat oriented than Geneforge (more combats, more dungeon crawls).
3. Geneforge have slightly more and better C&Cs.
4. Geneforge's setting is unique and more interesting.
5. Geneforge's grafix is better than Avernum 1-3.
Also from what I've heard, it seems that each of Avernum shares much of the same stuff, thus it'll be perfectly fine to start right with 5. While the Geneforge series share less of the repeated stuff, so it's more plausible to start even from 1.
Any comments? Right now I'm looking for GF 1 to start out.
