I'm biased toward Klonopin; it took about 1-2 weeks to get over the mild sedation etc. but now it works extremely well with no side effects. I also use Xanax occasionally, and it's very effective; I find it "stronger". I don't like diazepam (Valium) at all -- it makes me feel too drugged out. But we're all different.
And, if Neurontin can produce sustained anxiety reduction, I'd say go for it. You can easily mix it with benzos. I find it extremely mild (and it did help with anxiety for me very briefly), but the effects didn't last. Some others do well with it, though, and it's a very safe drug that's easy to get.
