I think this is one area where you really shouldn't listen to anyone else. There ain't too many neutral opinions when it comes to alts. Your own research will win out.

This. Picking crypto is basically like picking stock, except there's a lot less information to go by. I view alts as gambling rather than investments and I recommend you do the same. Only put up what you can lose (and I mean lose 100% of it) and enjoy the ride.

vertcoin
darkcoin
litecoin
pawncoin
Hirocoin

I missed the boat on VTC when it had the brand new algorithm or whatever it was so I haven't been following it, but their devs seem talented so maybe worth checking out.
LTC is always a good bet. It has the history other coins don't. I wouldn't trade these, I just have a few I'm holding for a rainy day.
I don't like pawncoin. Getting cash in hand is the purpose of pawn shops. Until crypto closes in on being as widely accepted as fiat, pawncoin isn't doing much for anyone.

The others I don't know enough about to have an educated opinion.
