Good question. One I'm ill-equipped to answer.

Manual of Theology - Dagg
Systematic Theology - Grudem
I realize that the if-he-says-something-wrong-I'll-just-throw-out-the-whole-book folks here don't like Grudem because of his position on signs gifts, particularly his notion of "non-revelatory prophesy," and I agree that he's wrong (even though he has an argument that many, many people find compelling), but I will say this about Grudem's work: I believe it is THE BEST written systematic theology in the English language. It is amazingly clear and helpful. (I am especially appreciative of his helpful charts/graphs that help illustrate certain concepts, like progressive sanctification.) Furthermore, each chapter includes references to corresponding sections in most other systematic works. In short, aside from his section on the signs gifts, I whole heartedly recommend his work above all others (yes, even above Calvin or Turretin).

Boyce is good... sorry, I forgot to mention him.
I'd not bother wasting my time on Erickson: I think his text is pretty lame. Well, he's good to have if you want to have a resource that presents standard evangelical, "4-point" Calvinist, credobaptist theology, but he doesn't say anything that Grudem says better.
