I would probably skip to Zero. You will miss some context if you skip Sky 3, because some of the plot in Zero is a pretty direct follow-up to what characters were up to in that game. But you can probably infer what you missed, and be ok. Zero is actually a pretty self contained game overall (unlike Sky FC with its giant cliffhanger), but the characters are a lot of fun and it's needed to set up Azure (which is probably the best game in the series).

If you want, you could also skip to Cold Steel. That's what I did when I first played, since we didn't even have fan translations of the Crossbell games (or Sky 3) at the time. You will have some times (in CS2-4 especially) where the game will reunite you with some of the Crossbell characters and it won't mean much, since you didn't play through those games. But the overall story doesn't rely on playing the Crossbell games to be able to follow what's going on.
