Any sets of pieces will do. Etudes, preludes, etc. For me it is Gaspard de la nuit by Ravel.

Tough question, but for me the Années de pèlerinage by Liszt comes out on top.

This is a pretty vague question, so I'll specify some groups of specific types of pieces (none of these are in order):

PRELUDES:
Chopin, op. 28
Debussy, books 1 and 2
Rachmaninoff, op. 23 and 32, plus op. 3 no. 2

ETUDES:
Chopin, op. 10
Liszt, Transcendental Etudes

THEME AND VARIATIONS:
Bach, Goldberg Variations

IMPROMPTUS:
Schubert, Impromptus Op. 142

MISCELLANEOUS:
Bach, Well Tempered Clavier
Bach, The Art of Fugue
Schumann, Kreisleriana
Schumann, Carnaval
Debussy, Images, Book 1
Ravel, Miroirs
Prokofiev, Visions Fugitives
Liszt, Années de Pelerinage
Rzewski, The People United will Never be Defeated
Schubert, Moments Musicaux
Rachmaninoff, Moment Musicaux

Out of all of these, I might say the Rachmaninoff Moments Musicaux or the Chopin Preludes are my favorites.
