The first mod I use/install in standard Minecraft would be TMI (TooManyItems) since it has some of the standard functions I use to create adventure maps (Creative --> Survival), change the weather (I hate the rain), and (of course) choose items as well as my item saves.

The next mod I install would be SPC or Single Player Commands which allows me to kill all entities on a world (killall command) to reduce lag, and a ton of extra features such as WorldEdit (although it is currently glitchy). Single Player Commands is also necessary to open the chat console for certain mods.

The next mod I install is ModLoader which allows infinite items when an item is shift-clicked in the TMI gui. I guess this doesn't really count as a mod so scroll down for more.

The next mod I would install is Optifine because it reduces tons of lag by customizing the graphics options. I recommend you install this mod to reduce a LOT of lag and it's compatible with a lot of mods.

The next and final mod I would install is Camera Studio Mod that uses the chat console to record time-lapses or show-off your Minecraft creations by using smooth movement. It's very easy to use and I recommend using it if you record time=lapses or do cinematics.

Other Mods I have Used:
One really cool mod is probably the Elemental Creepers mod by Risugami that adds many different creepers to Minecraft. I don't recommend using this mod if you are a serious normal survival player because this will mess up your world.

Another EPIC mod is SDK's gun mod. It's the BEST gun mod out there with grenades, nukes, guns (of course), and tons of other features. There's maps for SDK's gun mod and there's also a multi-player version as well.

A practical mod is Rei's mini-map that detects mobs and displays the world. However, it doesn't detect mobs or players in multi-player servers.

A cool mod also by Risugami is his Elemental Arrow's mod which adds craftable lighting arrows, egg arrows, ice arrows, fire arrows, and explosive arrows into Minecraft. It also adds a special diamond bow that shoots arrows towards the closest mob (not including yourself).

Yes, SPC has WorldEdit. Currently, the SMP version works better while the single-player is glitchy and hard to work with but still usable.
