You've already played many of the heavies.
My suggestion is to have a go at just picking things at random and getting busy. Search my nick for some middle of the road action to start. I'd say 85-90% of what is out there is worth your time. Take the time to experience some of the more average missions. They still have lots of great core thiefy goodness. If you burn through all of the best stuff at the start you might get a bit jaded with expectations that are a bit high.

Every single mission cannot, by definition, be the best. Stop being a crazy person.

Must say I agree with ZB here. Stop being crazy downwinder.
The Black Frog in my mind fits your bill TaffinOut, if you haven't gone through it already, although there are a few scary moments. But what is a thief mission without them?
The Tower by Lady Rowena is a bit smaller but a gem nonetheless. Vertical glory.

There is no single "must play" mission, but there are very many high quality missions that beat out the OMs in everything except for perhaps having the Thief OM style briefings. It's a shame I think that this community (as well as Dark Mod, some great missions there too) doesn't have as much exposure as there's literally hundreds of hours of great gameplay made by the authors of these missions. I can give a list of some of the T2 missions that I rated highly in DarkLoader/FMsel, though. In no means a complete list especially because I don't have some of my old files on hand.
Broken Triad
Bathory - The Campaign
Being Thief
Exile - Being Thief 2
Ashes and Dust
The Affairs of Wizards
The Seven Sisters
A Better Tomorrow
L`Arsene series
The Black Frog
Cryptic Realms (both versions are worth a play! Minor differences between them besides just B&W and color)
Better off Dead (2nd mission is amazing!)
Cell 6
Dark Messiah
The Unseen
The Dead of Winter
Ominous Bequest
Deceptive Perception and Deceptive Perception 2
All Torc
Dracula - Reloaded
A Debt Repaid
Heist Society
Keyhunt
Upside Down
Rose Cottage
The Favour
Memoirs of a Dead God
Resonance
The Last Lighthouse Keeper
From Beneath the Sands
Lingering Whispers
The Circle of Stone and Shadow 2: Mission X
Transitions in Chaos: Conspiracies in the Dark
Memento Mori 2: Vagabond (the first one is okay, too)
Sturmdrang Peak
A Night in Rocksbourg 1-3
The Temple of the Tides
When Still...
The Abandoned Castle
The Drymian Codex
Coterie of Smokers, Abysses, Bloody Ruins (Lady Lotti series)
Eclipsed (this has weird jerky performance issues due to engine limitations, unfortunately...)
Unholy Vivid Innocence
Whispers in the Desert
Zealot's Hollow
The Curse
Any way you look at it, lots to keep you busy. Especially if you go into playing Dark Mod.

It does have a crypt, but only a small part of it is haunted, and it's not that scary.
The haunted part of the crypt was pretty scary compared to most Thief horror themed stuff, to be honest. The way that enemy works was very well done and the message that appears when you enter his area was also great. I remember seeing a few scripted events like that message in Deceptive Perception 2, maybe? Either way I was on edge exploring that haunted crypt trying to find loot and objectives in it since it was hard to know exactly where the enemy was or if it could even see me until I played around with it on my 2nd play using save/load to figure out how exactly it worked. Great effect with the torches, too.
Drymian Codex was probably my favorite single T1G/T2 mission of 2013, I think. Lot of small areas pieced together before the hammer church each with their own things. I also liked Cell 6 and Resonance as great short missions. While Sturmdrang Peak was my favorite campaign.

Personally, I'd say Circle of Stone and Shadow 2: Mission-X. That is seriously the most amazingly well put together, not to mention one of the most innovative, FMs I've ever played.

I am heavily biased towards city missions featuring lots of rooftops and rope arrow use so these are three of my favorites:
1) Bad Debts by Melan
2) Disorientation by Melan
3) Thieves' Highway by Uncadonego
The Power of Suggestion by Uncadonego is very good and in the same vein as well. Have fun thieving!

Sorry, but who is bbb? "The Missions" site does not list this person. If this is short hand for another moniker, please let me know what that is. Thanks. :D
