Is there one McEwan you'd recommend?

If I had to say one it'd be The Child in Time, but more purely for the writing than the story, although the writing in On Chesil Beach isn't far behind it. His style is almost the polar opposite of Amis's so it'd be interesting to know what you think. Personally for all his limitation and recent shift in focus, I'd take McEwan over Amis, even at his most annoying.
