Brandenburg or Goldburg variations are both good places to start. If the latter, I'd strongly suggest the Christophe Rousset recordings on L'Oiseau-Lyre he really makes the harpsichord come alive!

Disclaimer: I am not by any means a Bach expert (or even close), but...
My favorite Goldberg Variations are a piano version by Kimiko Ishizaka. She's also done Book One of the Well Tempered Clavier on the piano.
But if you must have the Well-Tempered Clavier on harpsichord, I really like the version by Gustav Leonhardt.
