I think the Wizard Knight duology is a little easier to get into. They are both beautifully written books and the story is very engaging. I very much enjoy mythology, and I prefered the more straight forward fantasy of tWK as compared to the more Science Fantasy aspects of tBotNS.
I'm sure either of these works would be a good starting point, so I'd just pick which ever story sounds more appealing at the moment.
I would probably save the Latro books for later, but thats just my personal preference of course.

I've decided I want to read some Gene Wolfe.

No!!! Read "The Wizard Knight". I hear "The Soldier" series is good, too.
