Here's a good one for you, "Reneer's Guard Overhaul". It isn't as huge (size-wise) as MMM or OOO, but it does a ton of good stuff.
If you commit a crime in Anvil for example, then only the Anvil guards will know about it (instead of every blasted guard in Cyrodiil).
You can change the fines, and how long the guards remember your crime.
You get a spell to move corpses so the guards won't find them.

Reneer's Guard OverhaulEdit - as far as "What's the best", honestly that's a tough one to answer, because if two overhauls happen to be too close to one another in what they modify, then you could very well have a mod conflict. Then the only way to compare them would be to deactivate one then run the other.
MMM & OOO have always been perennial favorites. I don't use either one, as I'm running so many of the huge quest-mods, I don't want anything to have to cause me to remove any of the mods I use. Not saying that it would, just not going to take the chance. But I do use Reneer's mod.
