The Hammond World Atlas is one of the best atlases available - and at a reasonable price. It is computer-generated and is one of the most colorful atlases. The shading is also exceptionally accurate and amazing. The satellite section shows a variety of environments, and they are all large, clear, and colorful. The cities are labeled by population, a useful feature. The thematic section is also quite fun to read. The map projections and relief are extremely consistent. Depending on your needs, either the Oxford or Hammond is the best one for you, or buy them both!
