From my toolbox:
Bible commentaries are expensive. And how to sort through all of the choices? I have a leaning toward older books in general, but it is very encouraging to see tremendously helpful new work being done by Christian scholars. So, I highly recommend D. A. Carson's New Testament Commentary Survey. Get the 6th edition, just published in January. It may be the best ten dollars you have spent in a long time. (Locals: Feel free to just borrow my copy.)
Does anyone know whether a similarly reliable list is available online (like, free)?

Is this a commentary or a commentary about commentaries?
We have relied on Zondervan's NIV Bible Commentary Vol. 1 (OT) and 2 (NT) for several years.
This has some good pointers. I usually start by checking Carson's commentary survey for NT commentaries, and Longman's for the OT.
Choosing less technical commentaries is more challenging.
