I came in here to see if "All of them" was a comment yet.
Definitely buy Ariel and read the whole thing. In one sitting if you can, then go back and read individual poems. It's actually pretty quick to read a poetry collection, maybe a couple hours. If you remind yourself you can go back and read them closer again and again and again. Some collections benefit from a straight reading Ariel is one of them. You can buy it on amazon for under $5 plus shipping
I would definitely recommend that version. Ted Hughes's version is, well, more of his vision of the collection than hers, or at least that's what seems to be the general consensus.
Going off the idea you like Poe, Shakespeare, Dickinson, and Plath my recommendations (and reasons):
Olives by AE Stallings (the best new book of American poetry since Plath)
Harlot by Jill Alexander Essbaum (a fantastic and sexy collection of work)
The Restored Ariel by Sylvia Plath (the best book of American poetry after Eliot)
The Standing Wave by Gabriel Spera (lovely stuff)
60 Sonnets by Ernest Hilbert (some funny, some sad, all sonnets)
Broetry by Brian McGackin (light but funny)
I Was There For Your Somniloquy by Kelli Anne Noftle (a good intro into avante garde)
Azores by David Yezzi (a travelogue of sorts)
Omeros by Derek Walcott (best new epic in a long time)
With Rough Gods by yours truly (monologuing Greek gods)
Love, an Index by Rebecca Lindenberg (a beautiful work of loss and love)
The Waste Land and other writings by T.S. Eliot (the undisputed master of modern poetry)
I know this was a month ago, but check out the Restored Edition of Ariel here: http://www.amazon.com/Ariel-Facsimile-Manuscript-Reinstating-Arrangement/dp/0060732601/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418412768&sr=1-1&keywords=ariel+plath
The original was published by Hughes, who reorganized the collection and left out a couple poems. It might have what you're looking for.
