I don't read much on normative ethics, but Smart & Williams' Utilitarianism: For and Against has some good back-and-forth on the major issues, at least up to 1973. The other advantage of this book is that it's really short.
But there are probably better books on the subject I'm just not aware of.
I have put it on hold at my school's library. Thanks! I'll try to post a review once I read it, if I can find an appropriate space and time.
