The Ultimate Dungeon Adventure Path

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I haven't spent much time here of late.

I am an avid buyer of Dungeon, but I haven't had a lot of time to actually read many adventures in recent years because of my writing commitments. Generally, what I've done is get a new mag, glance over the adventures, and then get back to work. When I need an adventure for my game, I'll look at the last 2 or 3 issues, find something for the appropriate levels, and then modify it to fit the campaign.

I'm starting a new campaign, and I'm going with Age of Worms. Regardless, I'm always looking forward to the next campaign. My question is this - if you were to create an adventure path, starting at level 1 and ending at level 20, and you were to use nothing but Dungeon Magazine as your source of adventures, what would you use? What are the best representations of the game found in that magazine?

A few guidelines for this to actually be helpful:
1. I'm not interested in the "I wouldn't use Dungeon" response as that isn't what I'm asking.

2. I'm only interested in adventures published since 3rd edition (3.0 or 3.5 is fine).

3. I already know about the adventure paths, so I'm not interested in hearing about how great Shackled City or Age of Worms is. I already know and I'm interested in the cream of the crop from the rest of the adventures in the magazine.

Well, I can't map out a whole level 1-20 spread response, but I'd say that some great adventures that jump to mind are Mad God's Key (lvl 1), Shut In (lvl 2), Torrents of Dread (lvl 7), The Styes (lvl 9) and Throne of Iuz (lvl 14).

The problem being that thematically those don't exactly go together; Shut In being very "House of Usher" creepy, while many of the others scream "Freeport", at least to me. Throne of Iuz is a very traditional old school hack and slash.
