I'm getting Broken Steel for sure, but I want to get one more DLC and the decision is hard to make.
I've narrowed it down to Point Lookout, or The Pitt.
I'm not an Energy Weapons type of character, so I'm not interested in Mothership Zeta.
I hear Operation Anchorage isn't good, so I'm not interested in it.
Anyways, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Point Lookout, easily. It's an open world about a quarter size of the Capital Wastes, a few cool side quests, and will last a good 10 hours. The Pitt, while I think the main story is better, is extremely short compared to PL. The weaponry in the Pitt is much better though, where you get lots of cool weapons, whereas in the Point you only get maybe 2 new ones? Anyway, PL will be the much meatier buy.

Always follow your dreams, except for that one where you're in public naked.

The Pitt will drive you insane. Because you'll play it, love it, and then it ends. And you're left wondering how they didn't do more with it. SO MUCH CAN BE ADDED TO THAT DLC! It's so sad, really, to see a great idea flattened. Sigh. Get both, really. But if you can only get one, get the Point. Bigger, and there's some cool stuff. Especially the inbred mutants.

Friends,
well what about the complete/ultimate edition?? it has all these things on one disk. im not sure if its that much more. You could trade in your old fallout 3 for a used copy of that. so maybe for 15 bucks, you have ALL the dlc, to play at your leasure, and if your ps3 died, you still have the hard copy. you can loan it to a friend.
they all have SOMEthing intresting in them. Operation Anchor has some or one nice piece of equipment too. so dont rule it out. But I would just not spend 10 bucks for it. but I would spend 10 bucks for them ALL!!!!!
Just a thought. Enjoy. I did the pitt twice, You can side with two different sides, so thats fun. Pointlookout, I always had to big of a file at this time, and it was just to big to move. So I never finished that.
make a save right before you go in. so if it bogs your system and game down, you can play it, and then just restart from when you went in, and go somewhere else. so you can do them all, just not stack them on top of each other, on your save game.
Enjoy.

i would say put them in this order
BS
the pitt
OA
PL
MZ
play BS as soon as possible, the last section is lag/freeze city and the bigger your save, the worst it gets. it wsa bordering on unplayable with my 15mb save, but my 11 mb save was pretty smooth.
BS - obvious (new level cap, a big battle)
the pitt - just my favorite of the new stuff. i loved having a new city to explore, even if it is small. it combines the slaver story lines with a new area, feels like an expansion. plus the badass power armor that the slave leader wears is my favorite.
anchorage: a lot of people say it's boring (they must have not played MZ). it's fairly short, and i like the change of pace. a two hour action packed battle with beautiful clear blue skies and fantastic weapons, even without the glitch to get more weapons is a fun change of pace, imo.
point lookout - definitely the most "fallout feeling" with the way quests go and it feels more open, your choices seem to have a real impact like the main game, and it is also very hard. those mutants are STRONG lol. but for some reason playing it felt like a drag to me. i never got into it. a nice little vacation from the main game, though
MZ - ugh, stay way. yes, there are a ton of energy weapons - it is a chore. i would say the first 30 minutes were fun, but hen you realize it's the exact same rooms and aliens over and over, it feels like 10 hours of killing the same thing. and just when you think it's over, there's a new wing with...you guessed it...more of the same.

you wouldnt be that smart if you spent 20$ on DLC when the GOTY itself runs for about that much now. do yourself a favor and get the goty

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm going to get PL at this time, The Pitt next.
Well getting GotY isn't what I'm going to do. I bought the Greatest Hits addition recently, thinking that it had the DLC because I didn't bother to make sure first. Didn't see the GotY there anyways.

I bought GOTY F3 for 20$ from walmart.. so if the DLCs are still 10$, just get GOTY. Unless you only have the $$$ on PSN then...
Lookout. Biggest map to explore, a few good weapons, like.. 3 new outfits.
Anchorage. Short fast and packed with great great weapons and gear. the infamous 'gary 23 glitch' makes this DLC amazing for what it adds.
Pitt. IMO the best story. leaves you feeling bad no matter what lol. some neat new raider armor and a few really powerful guns.
Zeta. If you like energy weapons, this ones good.. in pretty much every other aspect, meh.
If you want more story and exploration. Point Lookout.
If you dont mind doing the Gary 23 glitch, O:A offers great equipment and the gary glitch makes some of them never degrade.
Pitts good, but not as much so as Lookout, and has soom neat stuff, but the gary glitch makes O:A much better.

If you havent already put the cash on PSN, you could seriosly find GOTY for LESS THAN 20 at gamestop.. trading in the greatest hits for a few $$ off and if you have a 'powerup' card.. yesh. Its very illogical NOT to go get GOTY.. youll be wasting MORE MONEY for two DLC than getting all of them!
But whatever then, its probably too late anyway.
