Six Feet Under is deeply amazing. Although it is not one of my very top fav shows in terms of my emotional connection to it (though I do love it), it is one of the two shows that I consider the strongest overall by more objective measures (the other is The Wire).
And Lost! Oh...Lost. I'll be interested to see what you think of it -- my feelings about it are SO tied to my experience of it as something I watched over six years, so I find hearing about how people feel about it when watching it all at once really interesting. It's a crazy, crazy show with a lot of flaws, but there are so many great things about it, too. My only suggestion to you is to focus more on the characters than the crazy plot -- I think it works better that way.
But yeah, it's a pretty hard show to spoil (other than character deaths, I guess), since it's hard to know exactly what's going on even when you've been watching it, so it's hard to pick up coherent spoilers.
