I tend to like utility mods, and don't go for area/quest additions as much. Along those lines, some Morrowind recommendations from me, then:
'All Boat Ports' and 'All Silt Striders' - Allows you to jump directly from one port/strider to another, rather than going along the route (directly from point A to point D rather than A to B, B to C, C to D). Saves zone loading time, but still costs more to go further away.
'Animal Realism' or 'Animal Behavior' - Tweaks animals. Some are stronger, annoying weak things aren't suicidally attacking you all the time (bye bye annoying attacks from things like cliff racers ... unless the animal is blighted). Makes it easier to run around exploring without constantly being attacked (I like exploring, and I still haven't been over more than a little bit of the whole place). Normal fish aren't aggressive, so pearl diving is easier (dreugh were made nastier, though).
'Fast Travel' - Lets you teleport around (outside) either for free or for a cost of one or more of gold/time/mp (I forget exactly, as I tend to choose to go for free even if it's less realistic ... think it's gold and time OR mp, with the cost increasing the further you want to travel away from your starting point), by casting a spell to go to a map, then casting another spell from there to travel where your pointer is on the map.
'Lurlock's Key Namer' - If you get tired of having 3 of 'A Rusty Key' and some of 'An Old Key' etc. A few things aren't named, but it's still nice. I only encountered one key named incorrectly, but looking at the plugin and the original files in the construction set it didn't look like it was the mod's mistake, even ... at any rate, easily fixable.
'Real Signposts' (search for Matthias/ElBundeee) - Changes the signposts (in areas where there are some) to have readable names, rather than Morrowind-script-symbols and having to go all the way up to the signpost and have your target over each one to get the mouseover of what it actually says.
'Herbalism' (by ... Balor, I think) - Tweaks plant/herb gathering. Adds an unseen Herbalism skill (depending how your character starts, you actually might not be able to gather things at all right at first, need to have at least 10 alchemy or a "connection with herbs" (readme file explains the details in case I'm confusing)), which increases as you collect more. Changes the plants themselves so when activated, they disappear and respawn in a month (no more having to wonder if you already 'harvested' in an area ... if a plant-piece-spawn-thingy is there now, there'll be a chance to gather from it). Chance to collect is changed (can collect double and triple amounts), etc. What can I say? I like running around picking flowers!
I got all of my mods (except the official ones, didn't include them but I've got most of them) from http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/
Better Bodies and Better Heads are indeed nice, but I ended up reverting back to not using them. The bright white teeth bugged me, and the edges of people got looking a little odd. Original bodies/heads are clunkier looking, but they sorta fade into the background instead of catching my attention. I miss my pretty hands sometimes.
