At this level, I liked to use as much commercial print as possible, ranging from Frog and Toad/Little Bear/Danny and the Dinosaur-ish, Minnie and Moe, all of Rylant's work to early chapter books--Cam Jansen (and the Young series as well), Magic Treehouse and so on. Fountas and Pinnell's white book allows you to check commericlal text by level and build purchase orders in that way.
If restricted to guided reading, I would purchase widely rather than from a single publisher. I liked Rigby PM books, Red Brick nonfiction. I purchased title by title, following characters in a series or looking for titles related by theme.
