One piece! If you like anime, or anything, then you'll love this! You'd probably like BECK, too; It's about a band, but also slice of life (a bit like fruits basket and all that) about him getting friends, etc; They're both really good fun and well worth atleast a try! 
And, although I haven't watched it, you'd probably like Paranoia agent. It's quite dark. Oh, and I'm assuming you've seen it already, but if not - Death note!

.hack//SIGN is very good. It's slow, and that puts many off it, but the story and characters are excellent. And, since the story occurs 6 months before the story of the .hack games and the characters only make cameo appearances in the games, it isn't simply a cheap tie-in - it's more than good enough to stand on its own. If not for the pound currently being so weak, I'd recommend you import the R1 Anime Legends set.
.hack//Roots, however, is poor. If you watched .hack//SIGN and thought it was slow then you're in for a nasty surprise when you watch it. Unlike .hack//SIGN, which offered a totally new prequel story involving different main characters than those who appear in the original 4 .hack games, .hack//Roots focuses on the same cast that feature in the .hack//G.U. games. Nothing ever happens because the 'story' is only allowed to build-up to the start of the first game - it can't reveal the games story or even give details about the mysteries because it's only meant to show what happened just before the start. Prepare for a lack of events and animation if you watch it.
.hack//Trilogy, the CG movie that covers the events of the G.U. games, is pretty good. The CG is a +2 version of the in-game cut-scene graphics and looks amazing even in SD. The story is a little rushed due to it only lasting 80 minutes, with cuts to less important characters, filler stories and plot changes having to be made to fit it all in. These edits/changes hurt it because each .hack game had a HUGE amount of filler that was included in order to make 3 short games last longer, but it was still great to watch. It beats Advent Children in the battle of the CG video game tie-ins...not that that's saying much.
Edit: Here's the best part of the movie...
Link
The fight stole a lot from Naruto (Kyuubi mode) and Bleach (Ichigo's training)...which makes it even more awesome.

Saikano: No. Just, no. One of the worst series I have watched, ever. It is very poor in every detail; It's story line. It's characters and development. Hell, everything is crap about it. Aion's review on it was quite good.
As for the other two, no idea. I've never even heard of madlax; I've been told noein is good, though.

You seem to have tastes similar to mine so I'd recommend Eureka seven (if you don't mind huge series) as it's got some good mecha fights, decent music, great characters and it's just fun. It focuses very heavily on the character development so that becomes the main focus which then makes the mecha fights etc. seem to come ou of nowhere and be a little more interesting.
My-hime is pretty good, good animation, good characters and some decent fights but it does lag at the end a little (if I remember right).
Samurai champloo is good and you might like it since you have afro samurai. It mixes comedy and action quite well without making the characters seem silly so you'll always take them seriously still.
Of your list though I've only seen 3, bubble gum is good in my opinion and quite fun to watch but also a little shallow on the character development. Burst angel I kind of liked but it's not great and not something you need to go out for. FLCL is awesome, I think it's my favourite anime. I just love the atmosphere of it and it's a great anime.
