Bellum Crucis 7 and Europa Barbarorum 2 are my favorite Med 2 mods. I prefer BC over SS. EB2 is my go-to mod when it comes to the ancient world. Falcom Total War is also fun, closest thing you'll get to world conquest in Medieval 2. Broken Crescent is great for the Middle East and crusader warfare. As for early modern mods, problem I remember back then was that they were usually incomplete and buggy. There's a recent one called Lucium Total War which seems to have improved a lot of things.
