Psyvariar and Psyvariar revision are great
(I prefer how psyvariar plays, but it seems a little 'unfinished', while revision seems more polished but plays a bit easier I thought).
Shikigami is also great.
The rest are give and take I think:
Raycrisis: great but definitely unique (with the encroachment element) and I like it, but...sometimes makes you fight the same boss twice...bad.
XII Stag: fantastic on the later levels where the rediculous play mechanic is no longer important. Early levels lame.
Night Raid: Fantastic game until is gets a little TOO manic a few levels in and turns into a spaz-fest (instead of a nice dodge-fest).

Taito G-Card of Psyvariar Revision is cool for Superplays...
For TheRed,
I'd pick up the Taito G-Card version of Psyvariar Revision as it has the ability to save individual Superplays of each respective stage (provided that they are 1'CCed & are the highest scoring in the chosen stage) directly to the G-Card itself. Of course, one can delete them...but why would you want to? ^_~
Also, the Taito G-Net mobo supports both mono sound output + true stereo sound output provided that you have a proper stereo cable harness. The BGM tunes of Psy-R G-Card are cool to listen to, especially when piped through a decent pair of stereo speakers. (I have a pair of 100w Sony bookshelf speakers rated @ 8 ohms hooked up to my Taito G-Net mobo -- awesome shit indeed! -- The G-Net mobo can handle that particular speaker setup without overheating -- no sweat!) ^_~

Oh man, I was just looking at coinopexpress' site, some of the G-Net kits are so cheap! Like $141 for a motherboard + Psyvariar revision?
Minimum order of $200, but they have Shikigami no shiro G-Net card for $60 or so only, so the Psy R & Shiki would do it. Wow!
I've only played the PS2 versions of Shiki, XII Stag, and Psyvariar Revision.
I played Psyvariar Medium Unit very briefly, and while it's good, the buzz system doesn't seem as compelling as Revision which I found more fun to play and is a bit more similar to Psyvariar 2.
Call me weird, but I like the first Shikigami no shiro more than II (and I haven't tried III yet). I also like XII Stag a lot, more than Trizeal.
There are not very many games for G-Net as you may have noticed, and none of the shooters will be terribly expensive, so hey, if you buy one and don't like it, I might like to buy
