Well mind you, there is one important thing to keep in mind: cross-compatibility. It's not a "horrible thing" because often mixing mods results in catastrophic (but not always immediately obvious) game failures. But of course that's why JSGME is a blessing.

Personally, I think it's too early. There may be some good reasons to have a "mod collection" right now, but not too too many - I think the ground covered is relatively thin so we don't have much in the way of incompatibilities (meaning that generally people are pretty safe downloading and mixing/matching most of these mods for now), and there has not yet been a particular 'direction' to the modding effort, e.g. offering a "realism pack" doesn't quite make sense yet since we haven't begun addressing some of the major issue in it.

So personally, I'd rather wait for a patch or two and meanwhile keep tabs on compatibility between mods.
