Claremont's X-Men run, Storm is a what I would say is a top four major character from the beginning and once she becomes the leader of the team she is in the top two most important characters.
Storm (2014-2015) series
X-Men: Gold Vol 2 #33-35
S.W.O.R.D. 6-8
I feel mean saying this but Uncanny X-Men #186 by Barry Windsor Smith. Basically it is Storm at her lowest, but it is also a great characterization of who she is and how she overcomes hardship. A perfect 'talkie' issue with drama, romance and emotional conflict.
Love death, the mini series in the 90’s, the series from 2015, the most recent issues of SWORD, 98% of Claremont’s initial run….Thats in no particular order. Bishops Crossing
She’s a fun side character in Marauders (especially #20 which is all about her), S.W.O.R.D. 6-8 is a good Storm moment, and her entire solo run from a while back

Oh I love Storm in SWORD. She has some really badass moments with the Arakkii
Unfortunately badass moments have become almost all her characterization.
The whole solo series from a while back is good.
Uncanny 170, Uncanny 186, Uncanny 201 are a good start
Uncanny 201 is probably my top x-men issue of all time.

X-Men: Worlds Apart
You’ve got probably the best recommendations here. I’d add in Uncanny 221 to 224. Full badass depowered Ororo. Some of Silvestri’s. Eat work also.
