Abercromie's The First Law trilogy ready by Steven Pacey is superb. IMO, the best audiobook recording I've ever heard - by far.

I'm now to a point where I definitely recognize voices, but I don't typically look up names.
Spoilers to save space:
The Martian and Artemis were good audiobooks, though I suspect Weir's writing style lends well to them (limited scope, limited cast, lots of sarcasm and jokes that come through really well in audio format).
I think Scott Brick does a fair number of sci-fi, but his performance varies from average to slightly above average depending on the setting. His reading of Asimov's The God's Themselves is acceptable, and he also did The Foundation series as well.
Some books like Dune use a cast to do difference characters - notably the Dune series was done this way (Scott Brick also one of the voices there). Some people hate it when there are multiple readers, I don't mind.
Typically audiobooks where Authors read their own stuff tend to be mediocre. They don't tend to do a great job - they are writers afterall, not voice actors lol. As long as you're not expecting an amazing performance, it can be fun to hear the author read. Neuromancer has an edition like this.
Malazan, which I listened to all of them (except DG and MOI which I read), is not a good series for audiobooks. The reader(s) did a good job but the books are too complex for it.
One last thing I'll mention is that I like to listen to most books at 1.5x or even 2x speed, especially is the reader is very slow (like Scott Brick) and otherwise doing a mediocre job. Because of this, I don't like the audible app because it tends to Micky Mouse the voices when you speed it up. So I use a third party audiobook player because it handles speeding up better.
Really there's little you can do but check to see if the book you want to read is on audio and listen to it.
