I haven't read multiple discrete math textbooks, so I can't make a comparative judgment, but I can confirm that Concrete Mathematics is a delightful and useful text.

Also, while Sipser's book is great for theoretical computer science, I think Moore's The Nature of Computation is much better, at least in terms of being fun to read.
