Simple&efficient slider module for the following purpose
Views Slideshow isn't a bad way to go. It will probably take some working with css/templates/views to get it to display the way you want, but it is the most used module, so if you find yourself up against a wall using it, there's a good chance someone's already has done it and has written a tutorial, or would answer a question. 

There are a few other modules out there you could look at. A quick search I found this page, which has a decent list

Also a very in-depth comparison on the different modules out there from drupal.org
