Strongly agree. By watching it through the Kyon timeline, you will be able to pick up many of the hints and foreshadowing that was present in this series. In addition, it's just a lot more fun to watch everything play out the way it does the way the story is presented. If you are only interested in the brunt of the story dealing with Haruhi, go with the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya parts I-VI (Haruhi timeline). Of course, if those are the only episodes you are after, you will be depriving yourself of a real treat. So simple conclusion: choose a timeline and enjoy all of this excellent series.
