Can anyone guide me to the more well-known and/or best research studies on anti-social personality disorder?

Bob Hare is a given, although I highly recommend Cleckley's classic "The Mask of Sanity" circa 1941. Although alot of research has been done since that time, the conceptualization of the "Cleckley psychopath" is largely the same. Its an informative and interesting read.
For more modern emprical work, this of course depends on what you want to know. Diagnosistic and taxometric issues, treatments, therapies and outcomes, etiologies, genetics, risk factors? I would look up articles by Lee Robins, Ted Millon (of MCMI fame), Thomas Widiger, Donald Lynam. There is really no sentinel study out there for ASPD.

I should have added to my last post - the book "Psychopathy: Antiosocial, Criminal and Violent Behavior" edited by Millon, Simonsen, Birket-Smith and Davis (Guilford Press, 1998) is also a good resource.

There was a TV series... now finished...
Oh yeah: the Sopranos.
Presents a subtle, semi-realistic, and very entertaining picture of an anti-social personality.
(In one of the last episodes, Dr. Melfi is confronted with "recent research" about sociopathic personality disorder. Actually, the paper she is referring to, which I cannot find the name of right now, was written in the '60s-'70s)
