I thought that FWIW I'd list the ones I didn't mention (still strictly only 60- and 21-level mapsets) and why:
For reason already decided NOT worthwhile (so this is my 'trash bin' and it's quite large; please point out if you think I've excluded any gems):
-Anything by: Joe M,, Sandy, Kyo Kusanagi/Richter Belmont, Fred Kenny, or Ken/Melissa O'Brien
-Anything by Robert S. Bradbury that I didn't include because the levels are copies of ones I did include when looking in an editor
-Anything containing Creator or modified Creator levels
-Anything saying the maps all come from another 60- or 21-level set
-Acktung! (ack - only because I've already played Acktung! 2: TLW making it pointless to play this)
-Beltran (Marty Beltran)
-Cover of Darkness (Liso1 and Mek)
-Domination (Barry Christian)
-Gex's Spear Levels Pack (Various)
-The Grail of Eternal Life (Marcus Svensson)
-Gravestein 3000 (Thomas Hubert - exception: I do plan on possibly playing Episode 6. It's by Brian.)
-Guild of Darkness (Tetraarchangel)
-The Holy Grail SDL (Josh - I've already played every map this consists of anyways.)
-Justin (Rampage Games Inc.)
-Kenny (Gaming X)
-The Lost Fortress (Barry Christian)
-Nazi Alert (Maxim Zhukov)
-Op. Ubermutant (Matte Software
-Operation Scorpion (Tornado/Waterdog)
-Revenge (Osiris)
-Sam's Spear of Destiny Add On Levels (Sam)
-Schabb's Resurrection (Nate Smith)
-Spearfishwolfbones (Thomas Weiling - The designs didn't look like much in an editor, not what I'd expect from Thomas but it's okay to have a weak set or two)
-Shankenstein (Author unknown)
-SoDBlast2 (Chuck and Dave Archer)
-SOD Floors (Jamie E. Edwards)
-Spear of Bullsh*t (Nathan Linebuck)
-SweetSOD (Author unknown)
-WLF3D_60 (Barry Christian - Looking at these maps it's unbelievable this is the SAME AUTHOR that made Armageddon and TRTN, While also above on the not worthwhile list, even Domination looks like 100x better than this tripe.)
-Wolfm2 (Nate Smith)
-Wolf_Run (Author unknown)
For reason already decided is worth playing:
-Conflict in the Fatherland (BJ Rowan)
-DHW SDL SoD Mapset
-DHW SDL Wolf3D Mapset
-The Golden Episoes (Arielus)
-The Renovation (BJ Rowan - On the edge decision, but some of the levels look pretty nice)
-Spearmpixsod (MP Entertainment [Marteen Pinxteen])
-Super Haven Mapset (various - Not for all 60 levels but for levels by Schabbs/Brian [approx 15], ack [9], Thomas Weiling [6], WLHack [4], and Havoc [1])
For reason already played (will give brief opinion):
-Acktung! 2: TLW (ack - excellent set)
-Alliance of Powers (HellRaiser and StormBringer - excellent set)
-Archives Volumes 1/2 (ack - both very good to excellent)
-Arielus' Wolfenstein 3D (Arielus - overall very good)
-Chrono Spear of Destiny levels (Chrono - pretty good overall, will suit original SoD fans, aside from Floor 13 which is a Return to Danger ripped map)
-SoD Haven Style (Dark_wizzie - Way, way too hardcore for me. I didn't even finish it. Technically a 'trash bin' set, but I did try it so it ends up here.)
-Spear of Destiny Mappack (Megabyte - very good, moderate size levels to play through)
-Spear Revisited (Executor - overall good to very good)
-This Spear (Dark_wizzie - very good set, reminds me of ack but a bit more extensive, huge improvement over SoD Haven Style)
-Trilogy Revisited + Nocturnal Missions (serpens - mostly good early levels, very good to excellent later levels)
-W.O.L.F. (Thomas Weiling - excellent set)
-Wolfen60 (Various - Not really worth it in this day and age. I've played it because back in the '90s all I had for extras was the CD 'Wolf3D Mania' and this happens to be the 60-level set it contains. Back then I pretty much played to death whatever I had.)
