Like pony books, or Mercedes Lackey, or Robert Jordan, I think they work best if you imprint on them at an impressionable age.
Although McCaffrey did have some genuinely interesting ideas - I've heard it said she was one of the first person to merge sci-fi and fantasy, and Dragonflight has some pretty ace, innovative plot twists.
Decision at Doona was quite interesting, as Earth makes first contact with its second alien race, and tries to avoid the terrible consequences that followed their first first contact.
