Cambridge - excellent, difficult
Patel (the text, not study guide) - excellent, all difficulty levels, great explanations

Those are the only two you need really bother with. I'd buy Patel first.

Is Patel really that good ? :S

I did a few questions that my teacher set in Patel, but they seemed abit simple. :S Maybe he just chose the easier ones?

I found that Terry Lee, Fitzpatrick and Cambridge were the textbooks I mainly relied on for Maths Ext. 2. I think that for ext.2 maths especially, you need a really wide range of textbooks and sources to really understand everything and all the possible questions that might come up.

Cambridge and Terry Lee were the most awesome for 4U Maths

The old black and white coroneos is awesome for revision exercise and his famous 100 integration questions.
