For the 3 mainstays (mechanics, E&M, QM), many colleges use Marion and Thorne for the first and Griffiths for the other two. These have the advantage that there are solutions manuals either available or online. Putterman at UCLA once said that if you can truly understand the 3 volumes of feynman lectures, you pretty much qualify for a Ph.D. Not sure if it's true or not, though.
