I read JE as a teenage and WH in my twenties. JE was quite good, liked to come back to it sometimes. But WH was a disaster - totally unrealistic narration from an old woman of things she somehow never forgot (in detail) and scenes she never witnessed. It didn't really appeal to me in any way, so definitely JE. Villette was nice, though I can't remember much of it. Need to check out The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
