My recommendation is that you visit Dragonsfoot, at www.dragonsfoot.org While that board has forums for all editions of the game, the emphasis is on 1E. There have been a number of recent threads on the "Classic", "First Edition" and "Edition Wars" boards that rate the various classic modules. You will also see several familiar names among the posters there, including Piratecat, Henry, Bloodymage and MerricB.
And in answer to your question, I would personally start with B2: The Keep on the Borderlands.

Which versions of the modules will you use -- the originals, or the super-module reprints?
If you use the super modules, T1-4, A1-4, GDQ1-7 can be a reasonable sequence (though you'll have to scale back XP awards a bit for 3E). T1 by itself would require maybe one or two more adventures before you launch into the A series -- some of the UK modules, like UK2 & UK3 (The Sentinel & The Gauntlet) could work here.
B2 Keep on the Borderlands is always a good campaign starter, as is B4, The Lost City.
You could also do the Lendore Isles series as a level 1-3 intro series; they're pretty good (L1 -- Secret of Bone Hill and L2 Assassin's Knot are free downloads at WOTC if you don't have them; the hard-to-find L3 is completely optional).

Palace of the Silver Princess (B3?) is another good starting point, especially if your looking for one adventure to get the characters from 1st to 3rd or 4th. The adventure has a good mix of combat, traps and puzzle solving.
I always liked N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God, although most parties wouldn't stand a chance against the main villain without the aid of a NPC. An NPC the party is assumed to get help from is available, although I have mixed feelings on the subject.

(Not that that matters much.) Always struck me kinda funny that for all the AD&D campaigns I DM'd and Played in, how ofter the B's (and sometimes, even the X's) were used.

They are talking about an old series of modules:
A1-4 The Slavers
G1-3 Against the Giants
D1-3 Depths of the Drow
Q1 Demonweb Pits

And T1-4 is the original Temple of Elemental Evil. Right?
