While I would recommend trying all of the games, Fallout 3 and New Vegas would be great starting points if you're interested in playing Fallout 4, simply due to the fact that the design of F4 will likely be similar to those games (i.e., open-world RPG). Both F3 and New Vegas have had several years of patches and mods, so you won't notice nearly as many of the games' shortcomings at their respective launches, especially if you play on PC.
While there are many people who favor either Fallout 3 or New Vegas, I enjoyed them both. I think that Fallout 3 had a great setting, and I liked it's main story, while I loved the factions of New Vegas, the bigger emphasis on companions, and the game was a huge nod to Wasteland (the series's roots) with the desert setting and rangers.
Fallout 1 and 2, Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (and it's spinoff Brotherhood of Steel) all feature very different game play from the Bethesda developed/published games that may be difficult for some to get into, but they're great games if you give them a chance.
