I've read House of X/ Powers of X, and Dawn of X Vol. 1. I've just bought Vol. 2. I've noticed that there are other series, such as X of Swords and Reign of X. I've looked at a few lists, but have been unable to find a consensus. Should I just continue with Dawn of X, or would it be better to instead read each line (Marauders, Excalibur, etc.) separately? I prefer to read collected volumes, rather than single issues, whenever possible.

Comic Book Herald had this to say:

it’s really down to personal preference, and I’d advise sticking with the books that do it for you. For the completists like myself, though, those Dawn of X collections may seem awfully tempting.

The Dawn of X books present the story chronologically, with 1 issue from each of the 6 series (X-Men, Marauders, Excalibur, New Mutants, X-Force, and Fallen Angels). I'm not sure how important each individual series is, to the overall story. My impression so far is that X-Force is the most important because:

this is the series where Xavier is assassinated.

Hickman's X-men run concludes in the X of Swords crossover event. The X-Men comics are relaunched in Reign of X, starting with Hellfire Gala.
