I've played the 5th but have only looked at the rest. I find the second to be quite obviously the easiest. But if you decide to go with the 5th and you have a questions I might be able to help you.

I've played #6, which is the longest with 8 movements. The Sarabande is lovely and a wonderful study in trills for both hands. The Courante, Bouree and Gigue are proably the most difficult of the set. (For some reason I had the biggest problems with the Courante.)
