The first book is the best of the series by far (caveat: I have not read the rewritten version he did recently after he got lazy with the story). The first four books as a collective may be King's best work.

For someone new to the series I would recommend picking up the first two books. I find that the original Gunslinger is a bit disjointed while King really gets going with The Drawing of the Three. If you can get through the 2nd book you will, IMO, be able to judge what this epic is like and where he's going with it.
