RE 4 HD is a really good version of that game. It's also a really good game. You just have to come to terms with how it handles shooting. I'm sure you've heard but once you enter 'aiming' mode you can't move. And there's a little sway to the aiming no matter what gun you use or how you upgrade so your shots can't ever be as accurate as some people would like. But, if you can't look past those things it's a great game. A great action game. It's not horror though it is intense.
RE 5 is basically next-gen RE 4 with a few differences. You can strafe now but other then that the aiming is nearly identical. Some people didn't like the co-op AI but I didn't really have issues with her. The inventory is handled real time rather then in an attache case, like in 4, so you can't use the inventory as a moment to rest and think about how to deal with enemies. Pair that with also managing your co-op AI's inventory and it all feels a little clumsy. It's also shorter then 4. And if you are playing on the PS3 I noticed that, when I tried it out for free through PS+, it was a little frame-y. The 360 and PC versions seem to be the ones to get.
RE 6 was supposed to have better control and aiming then 4 and 5 but, from the little I've played so far, it doesn't. The aiming has a lot of forced movement. Whereas in 4 and 5 the aiming marker would sway a little, making head shots slightly more difficult particularly if you are under duress, the aiming marker in 6 sways as if a drunk is holding the gun. The kickback from the guns are severe. The melee, which has a stronger emphasis in this game, is inaccurate unless the player is really careful. On the plus side the co-op AI is indestructible and the game is really, really long. And there are some cool moments in it. But the controls take a lot of getting used to.
I don't know much about Revelations but from what I had heard about the 3DS version it was slow, disjointed, and a little boring.
If I were to suggest the next game for you to play, I'd pick 4, then 5, and it would be a toss up between 6 and Revelations.
