I think that either the Regencies ("Local Custom", "Scout's Progress") or else the Agent of Change arc should be the first reads in the Universe, with the other following, and then everything else read in whatever order you like afterward. I would also suggest, with the Agent of Change arc that reading "Conflict of Honors" (Priscilla & Shan's introduction) actually works better than reading "Agent of Change" first, because it gives a better sense of the Liaden culture and what Val Con's life would have been like before he became an AofC.
