I haven't taken live Pilates classes (but would like to) and am not very experienced, but videos I like include ones by Karen Voight, Ana Caban, a few by Mari Winsor. (I've heard great things about Jules' video, mentioned above, but it's quite long I believe.) I prefer total body videos but also enjoy Exhale Pilates Plus and 10Min Solution videos, including Suzanne Bowen's Pilates Perfect Body. ETA - I also enjoy Bernadette Giorgi and she's got such a lovely, calming demeanor/personality.
I always like reading KathAL79's posts, as I consider her knowledgeable about this subject. Hopefully she'll weigh in on this thread.

I second the suggestion for Jules' Total Core Pilates and 10 Minute Solutions Pilates on the Ball.
My favorite pilates DVD has to be Denise Austin Hit the Spot Pilates. It is core and lower body focussed (3 ab segments, 1 hip segment, 1 buns segment, 1 thigh segment, and 1 standing pilates segment). I think it's her best pilates workout to date.

Along with the other suggestions (i.e., Ana Caban "Pilates for Abs" is crucial tough and 10 Minute Solution Pilates on the Ball is fun/tough) I would recommend Hilary Burnett (she has a Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) as well as 10 Minute Solution Pilates ab section (rest of DVD is not as difficult) and 10 Minute Solution Rapid Results Pilates.
However I am biased to Lara Hudson
