For translations of Confucius, Mencius, and Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi); I recommend David Hinton, Pubished By Counterpoint, Washington DC.
For Chuang Tzu, Graham’s translation is considered standard in English.
For the Analects and Mencius, DC Lau’s translation is often quoted.
For translations of the Daodejing (Laozi), I recommend Hinton, Henricks, Lau, Ames, and Red Pine.
