Based on my very limited reading of Christie, Marsh, Sayers and Allingham, I'd still take Christie. Indeed, Christie is the only one I've read more than one book by, so far. Maybe that's just because Christie hit the ground running, while the others took a few books to get going? I don't know, but I didn't much like Wimsey, and didn't really feel Alleyn made sense to me. I did enjoy Campion, but the first Campion wasn't Allingham's first book.
