I used Kaplan’s set: there’s a big one for overall subjects plus a bunch of practice tests, and in-depth one for quant and one for verbal, and then a “800 score” the hard questions prep one. I thought it was a good balance of subject and strategy lessons with plenty of targeted practice options and there were online resources like full length practice tests and targeted sets it comes with access too.
FWIW, I also got the Manhattan Prep quant book because I wanted more practice there and liked it as well. Personally didn’t see a huge different between Kaplan and Manhattan Prep, though others may feel differently. Both included online resources.
One tip before dropping all your $$, is you could just get the large / overview book and do the overview sections and take a practice test or two and then buy the books you need based on your performance. I bought mine as a set, which saved some $, but didn’t really end up using the verbal book because I was pretty good in that area, so you could experience something similar / with quant.
Final thing and I’ll shut up, but 1) see if your firm offers discounts / some partial reimbursement; mine didn’t for books but did for online classes and 2) if you still have access to an .edu email address you can get some nice discounts if you buy straight their website

The official guide is the best. Great book. Then MGMAT.
OG and Manhattan prep worked for me!
Not a book but I highly recommend Target Test Prep for Quant
