Half-Life: Source is the basic HL1 with source engine, but if you want a REAL source engine go with Black Mesa!

Black mesa hasn't been totally finished. Don't want to spoil, but for the whole story play original half life.
Also, play opposing force, blue shift and if you have ps2, half life: decay is a must (get a buddy and play coop :])
If you are a hard core fan, download a fan made expansion called "case closed". You play as a janitor in Black Mesa :], it's awesome!

HL: Source is just the original ported to Source engine. There are very few graphical changes, though.
As for the order: HL1 -> Opposing Force -> Blue Shift -> HL2 -> HL2 Ep. 1 -> HL2 Ep.2. I think Lost Coast isn't canon, but it would fit after Ep 2.

As far as I remember, Lost Coast was simply a free demo of the new graphics capabilities of the source engine (I think which were then implemented in the release of HL2), e.g. High Dynamic Range Rendering.

If you feel you can enjoy a game so old like the first Half-Life play it, it's a masterpiece. You can easily skip Opposing Force and Blue Shift if you prefer, but they aren't bad. Don't think you should consider Black Mesa instead of the original, but maybe after playing the classic you could try it.
After the first one, go with Half-Life 2 and then the two episodes.

Hey since you have the half-life games I suggest you check out the Sven Co-Op mod. It basically half-life with friends and it's so much fun. Some servers do the Half-Life storyline from start to finish, but rarely. Seriously so much fun
