Some comments I received for my post about coming to terms with Drupal requested a list of Modules that I trust. I considered several approaches, including starting a database of modules with my reviews. I decided against that--I would hate to sound authoritative on which Drupal modules are good and which are bad because I haven't used so many of them, so I'm just going to discuss my experience with some common modules and hope that it helps. This is absolutely just my subjective opinion having run these modules for over a year on Observer.com and Politicker.com. I will vouch for these modules to the extent they will only ruin your life if you use them badly. Of course, your mileage may vary wildly, and if you're running or starting a site of any scale, please don't just take my word for it.
