Match the style to your need. Expositional devotionals (Charles Stanley, R. C. Sproul) walk through Scripture passages line by line; narrative devotionals (Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling," Joyce Meyer) ground biblical truth in personal storytelling; classical devotionals (Oswald Chambers, A. W. Tozer) emphasize depth and slow meditation.
Match the tradition. Evangelical (Charles Stanley, Billy Graham, Our Daily Bread), charismatic (Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen), Reformed (Spurgeon's Morning & Evening, R. C. Sproul), Catholic (Magnificat magazine, In Conversation with God), Anglican (Common Prayer daily office).
Commit to one for at least a year. Devotionals work over time. Switching every month means never developing the slow growth that comes from sustained reading. Pick one and stay with it through at least one full cycle.
