I don't like Donaldson - his books are very well written but completely unpleasant to read. Terry Brooks annoys me - I liked him well enough at 13 but not now. I thought Jordan lost control of the story around the third volume. (I remember reading a passage and it felt like nothing happened for a hundred pages - and then the same nothing happened for another hundred pages to the same characters later on.)
I do have a particular dislike for Weis and Hickman - I find their prose style excruciatingly painful to read.
