The best feature of this site is that it allows you to easily customize your own texture pack from a variety of options. The Painterly Texture Packs have some pretty awesome stuff: This is probably one of my favorites But I'd like to make my own mixture of this and JohnSmith's some time. Highly detailed and a little more soothing with the deep greens I think. Minecraft Realistic 32X32 Texture Pack seems pretty top quality: Here's the texture pack in action as its creator explores what is probably one of the best maps ever: In the link above is also a metroid prime helmet mod that I have to try. While not meant to be as realistic everything just looks better with it and it works perfectly to give the game an RPG sort of feel. If you're not playing online then you might like the how some of the paintings are made to look like banners and tapestries to decorate castles. While I preffer the way most items and tools look in JohnSmith's pack I like pretty much everything else in this pack more. A modification of Duku's RPG Texture Pack (which is out of date), GERUDOKU is an amazing blend of detail and simplicity that most texture packs try for. I can't believe I haven't added this as it's currently in my list of top 3 favorites and I'm using it right now. Most decent texture packs have these things but I somehow like JohnSmith's versions more. I like one of the more recent changes to the sun and how wood and stone tools are changed into more appropriate shapes for those types of weapons (giant wooden club for example). It's the one I always seem to use even when new updates make it buggy and installing it requires a patcher (which he links in the thread) for the compass and a few other things to work properly (note: a lot of the best packs often need the same patcher and it's not that big of a deal). Not the most highly detailed textures (compared to something like the Oblivion pack) but still really easy on the eyes. Probably the most most popular one out there. Make sure to include a download link and either images or videos of the pack in action. Even better, if you have made a texture pack you think is worth sharing then please post here or pm me and I'll add it to the list. If you know of one that isn't listed here then post about it. I'll start with just a list of what I know already and think are worth mentioning.

EDIT: Because of this thread's popularity I thought I'd add to the OP to make it more informative.
