My favorites are the Ferling 48 studies which are both challenging and musical, even performable at a pinch. I never managed to "love" the Barret studies the way I do the Ferling, even in Martin Schuring's edition.
BTW, all of these studies (Barret, Ferling) and much more have been made available on the IDRS website by Charles-David Lehrer. Studies that have been out of print for years such as the Garnier progressive studies (excellent), Brod studies and a huge selection of ensemble works such as the Reicha and Cambini wind-quintets (all of them). It is worth signing up for a year just to get access to all of this.
.. and then, there is the International Music Score Library Project, which now has an easy way to find works with Oboe:

I pity the publishers who are still trying to flog offset-lithograph copies of 100-yr-old parts!
