My two favorite arcs are both in the 40-44 range:
Division: Line and The Eternal Nemesis

Well, it looks like you are missing the old "main" starting arcs - all 5 of them (they are origin related).
Have you fought the Clockwork King? (not the Psychic Clockwork King)
Have you defeated Dr Vazhlok (after being affected by the Vazh Plague)?
Have you put a stop of the running of Supradyne?
Have you been sent on missions to get really, seriously lost in the forests of Perez Park?
etc?
Yeah, there are some really cool missions that you may have missed.
Unfortunately, they do require a lot of running around from contact to contact and plenty of Defeat # X.
There are unique maps that you will won't see in the rest of the normal game if you don't run these lower level missions (I think most are available as maps in the MA).
The newer arcs are generally the best.
Faultline is easily 5 stars.
Croatoa gets about 4 stars from me overall
The Rikti War Zone - 5 stars again.
Mercedes Sheldon - 5 stars, some very cool tricks in "The Magic Man" arc
The soloable task forces in Ouroborus - Twilights Son in particular
Striga - 3 stars, its a bit grindy.
Montague Castellan - only 3 stars for offering two missions in a row that feel almsot identical.
These arcs have personality, interesting contacts and varied gameplay and maps.
Of the older content, I'd recommend:
The respec Trial.
The final generator rroom is fun and kind of different.
Harvey Maylor's Carnies arc
Colin larson's Freakalympics
Tina MacIntrye, purely for the ten minute long timed mission. That's definitley different and a real adrenalin shot if you dont expect it.
Gordon Stacy's Revenant Hero Project.
Ginger Yate's Terra Conspiracy
Steven Sheridan's Organ Grinders
Cadao Kestrel's Envoy of Shadows
The Shadow Shard in general - do the arcs in here even if they are like radio missions.
These tend to have a decent story to follow at least. The missions themselves can get a bit grindy, but have at least one unique map or a plot twist or two to break things up.
It can also take a while to get the actual stroy arc off soem of these people.
Also a shout out to the "Retrieve Stolen Weapon from the Freakshow" (20-24 range) mission which dishes out the Pwnz badge. Nice map, one merit per run and you get a Beanbag rifle temp power with 75 shots, all repeat-Ourobable. Very handy for any character who should carry and use a gun on occasion according to their concept, such as military-themed scrappers or tankers.
For me its a mix of arcs which are good game play wise and which are good story wise. They incude:
5-15: Hollows arcs (Wincott, Flux, Julius, Talshak) - mixture of good game play and a good story
10+: Montague Castanella (Midnighter Club entry arc) - good story, although gets a bit drawn out towards the end
15-19: Vahzilok Plague (Olivia Chung, Dr. Ann-Marie Engles, Pavel Garnier, Juliana Nehring) - you get to face off with a title bad guy in this
15-24: Faultline (Temblor, Yin, Delilah, Agent G) - great story and great game play
20-25: Mercedes Sheldon (2 arcs from inside Midnighter Club) - great game play
20-24: Wheel of Destruction (Dr. Cheng, Oliver Haak, Piper Irving, Josef Keller, Andrea Mitchell, or Cain Royce) - I just found this fun
25-29: Scroll of Tielekku (Miriam Bloechl or Laura Brunetti) - the same with this one
25-35: Croatoa and Striga Arcs - these are ok, although they get a bit drawn out after a while
35+: Rikti War Zone (Laventera, Drummer, Gaussian, Dark Watcher) - great stories and game play
35-39: Terra Conspiracy (Ginger Yates), Revenant Hero Project (Gordon Stacey), Organ Grinders (Steve Sheridan) - a bit 'grindy' in places but some good stories
40-44: The Evil Countess Crey (Janet Kellum), The Praetorian War (Tina Macintyre), Devision: Line (Angus McQueen), Stolen Power (Daedalus) - some good stories and game play
45-50: Future Threat (Daedalus), A Hero's Hero (Maria Jenkins), To Save a Thousand Worlds (Unai Keman) - last two can be a bit long but good some good stories
I also enjoy:
* Respec Trials (all 3 of them!)
* Synapse TF
* Sister Psyche TF
* Moonfire TF
* Imperious TF
* Stateman's TF
* Lady Grey TF
Although all the TFs are worthing doing at some point

If you start a guy at level one, sewer team him to six...What Contacts and what misison arcs are some that you all love and whouldnt miss on the way to lvl 50?
For me, I like the one in faultline where you get to blow up the submarines and take in that arbiter you have to fight a few times. I also like fighting frostfire in the hollows, but I hate the path to get to him. I also wouldnt mind doing more missions in faultline, stringa isle, and the shard. A few of the PI missions are good and have great replay value.
(geting to fight the AV's and such...especially siege. That guy sucks!!) The freakshow missions are a great batch as well, as are the whole lot of croatoa missions.
If you all very knowledgeable people could..maybe post the mission arc, how you get to him/her, and what lvl the mission is. maybe include some of those rarer missions and any that give you accolades and temp powers.
This way I could make an all-star path to 50 that I could try out.
I would like everyones imput, because each person likes something different and has something interesting to add to this discussion!
