Of Sound Mind has the most satisfying climax of any adventure I've run. It's fantastic- iirc Fiery Dragon published it.
And Piratecat wrote it!

The old 1E adventure Treasure Hunt is great style of adventure to start a campaign. You can modify the premise of the original and have the characters start off at 1st level.
Starting a campaign with the PC's as survivors of a shipwreck that must survive in a hostile environment is great departure from the typical small town or village start.

Let's see. Paizo's done a couple of fantastic ones: "The Whispering Cairn" from The Age of Worms and "Howl of the Carrion King" are both excellent, and can be stripped from their Adventure Path context with minimal effort. Both were written by Erik Mona, incidentally--he should do that more often.
You know, I just realized I never read NeMorden's Vault because I was playing as Vadania in Piratecat's Iconics game, then when the game stopped we never got to finish the story.
I may have to go dig that out again.

Keep on the Borderlands. It's originally designed for Basic D&D, but as it uses all common, stock, normal monsters, it's very easy to use as is (except maybe for D&D4).

It's the ultimate campaign starter. It has no set plot to "finish," and it's big enough to give many, many game sessions of play. It has a base town (the Keep), wilderness adventures, and the Caves of Chaos with nearly every base D&D monster.
For a DM, though, the encounter/room text is not organized, and written sort of stream of consciousness style, so it's difficult to run without reading it carefully before actually playing it. It has some other shortcomings, too.
But the basic adventure is great for starting a campaign with beginning PCs.
