I'm not going to make this a poll, since we have so many third party companies. I'd say my favorite non-WOTC adventure is

The Banewarrens by Malhovic Press - a mid to high level dungeon crawl by Monte Cook that has a few political twists and a definite theme of good and evil. This one will take your PCs from 8th level to 11th level easy, if they survive. I recommend this adventure only for the most skilled DMs. You have to juggle a lot of secrets, factions, plot points, traps and timed encounters along with some encounters that may just kill the entire party if they are not quick thinkers and have a good grasp of their abilities.

WOTC Adventure? I'd say The Speaker in Dreams. It's primarily overland, and has some interesting elements and great NPCs.

I'd say 'Last Days of Constantinople', in which a small group of Catholic adventurers arrive in the city which has 8,000 defenders facing off a horde of 3-500,000 Ottoman Turks. It is a superb historical adventure, but probably should be rated 15+.

Also Grimm by FFG, roleplaying 10-12 year olds in the world of the Grimm Fairytales. However it is true to the original Brother Grimm spirit, not modern Disneyesque fairy tales, and contains fairly serious adult themes. 18 rated.
It's more of a sourcebook than an adventure.

I have read a lot of d20 stuff, but very little which I found as exciting as the thrill of the early 80's modules - but I was younger then, and the world so much more exciting!

I just picked up Grimm. I am sort of gutting it, tossing out the twisted fairy tales section and basically using the character creation, skills and feats for my Narnia-type campaign that I am brewing up for a Church Small Group
