Favorite Diablo 2:LoD Mod?

I'll start an with a breif introduction:

Through-out my entire life I have played some version of Diablo. I love it. I would stay up all night running through the endless dungeons of tristram's church and then further to the gates of hell. The second game only blew my pre-adolencent brains and continued to cranially fumigate me through my teen years as well! But as I grew even older the game that I had traversed for what seemed like an eternity,the one with numerous -now seemingly limited- acts that flawlessly composed the games atmosphere, began to bore my mature and adult like mind.

Unlike her.....I'd totally traverse her cave

So to keep myself entertained I hunted for an alternative version of the game. So I started with the first google hit at the time:

Eastern Sun

My thoughts:

Although fun, I thought this game was just for people who like to make ridiculous characters. The game plays like diablo on steroids. It changes up some of the skills and adds some difficulty.

PlugY

My Thoughts:

It's just a mod that allows all of the bonuses of playing on ladder bnet to be used on single player. Also before the respec was in the game it was used. Overall it's a simple mod that doesn't add anything to the gameplay.

MedianXL

My Thoughts:

This mod changes everything you know about Diablo. If you reskinned this game it would be Diablo 2.5. This mod changes the monsters, the way the game is played, the drops, the way you fight, it creates a whole new skill try and invents new classes. It changes up the leveling and allows the player to achieve higher levels much faster.

Overall:

My favorite has to be MedianXL because of the dramatic overhaul done to the game. Eastern Sun is definitely a rival and it can be combined with PlugY and a high res mod as well.

tl;dr My favorite d2 mod is definitely MxL what's yours?
Median XL 4ever :)
