REMINDER: All Tafsir and Commentary is opinion. Treat it as such. Use it as a guide, but do not be afraid to question it. Always ask for verification of anything you disagree with.
I personally like the commentaries as they give a good idea as to when and who the Surat were specigically addressed to. This helps me put things in perspective when trying to understand. what they are referring to.
Keep in mind each Surah was first addressed to a specific group. These groups range from Supporters of Muhammad(PBUH), to fanatical enemies, to those who were indifferent and to hard core doubters. When the Qur'an was being revealed there were very few Muslims in Arabia, the Qur'an was alien to the Arabs of the time and contradictory to what they believed. Probably the strongest doubters of Islam were the people who first heard the Qur'an.

YUSUFALI: Is he, then, to whom the evil of his conduct is made alluring, so that he looks upon it as good, (equal to one who is rightly guided)? For Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So let not thy soul go out in (vainly) sighing after them: for Allah knows well all that they do!

PICKTHAL: Those who disbelieve say: The Hour will never come unto us. Say: Nay, by my Lord, but it is coming unto you surely. (He is) the Knower of the Unseen. Not an atom’s weight, or less than that or greater, escapeth Him in the heavens or in the earth, but it is in a clear Record,
SHAKIR: And those who disbelieve say: The hour shall not come upon us. Say: Yea! by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen, it shall certainly come upon you; not the weight of an atom becomes absent from Him, in the heavens or in the earth, and neither less than that nor greater, but (all) is in a clear book

PICKTHAL: Those who disbelieve say: Shall we show you a man who will tell you (that) when ye have become dispersed in dust with most complete dispersal still, even then, ye will be created anew?
SHAKIR: And those who disbelieve say: Shall we point out to you a man who informs you that when you are scattered the utmost scattering you shall then be most surely (raised) in (to) a new creation?

PICKTHAL: Have they not observed what is before them and what is behind them of the sky and the earth? If We will, We can make the earth swallow them, or cause obliteration from the sky to fall on them. Lo! herein surely is a portent for every slave who turneth (to Allah) repentant.
SHAKIR: Do they not then consider what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We please We will make them disappear in the land or bring down upon them a portion from the heaven; most surely there is a sign in this for every servant turning (to Allah).
