I can give a 10 to the Dvoretsky's Manual, is the only I have and it is really great.

Dvoretsky and Mueller do an excellent job explaining endgame theory.
Fine wrote Basic Chess Endings without the benefit of endgame tablebases, which is why I have to dock it a few stars, even though it's a good reference.
Silman's book is much, much more basic than the rest.
