The Wind's Twelve Quarters has some fantastic stories: 'Semley's Necklace' and 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas' (OMG THAT STORY!), but I think my favourite collection is The Compass Rose (with 'Sur', and 'The Eye Altering' and 'The Pathways of Desire'). The Compass Rose is one of the few things I remember reading as a teenager, and 'The Diary of the Rose' was incredibly impactful on my imagination. (I sort of fanficced it later, when I was doing B7 fanfic.)
Did I rave about 'The Annals of the Western Shore' at you? I think I may have liked Powers more than the Earthsea books.
You know, I think I'd pick Le Guin too. (Well, I've mostly got Tolkien memorized! *g*)
