Start with the 1st Symphony. It's definitely the best introduction to his works. Then, I would suggest listening to the 2nd symphony, which is a good deal longer, but an incredibly powerful piece. If you enjoy this, then you will probably enjoy the rest of the symphonies as well. Some will probably take sever listens before they sink in, but this is the case with most works of their length. The 9th will probably be your favorite, because it's the closest thing to Berg's music that he completed.
Don't forget the song cycles either.

Thank you for the advice.
