The ones that try to emulate real places with logical layouts but due to nature of the Doom engine they look terrible.
Europe.wad uses only standard Doom engine features (well....not exactly, it also uses some Boom handling of textures for some details, like the cemetery), and has several very unique settings, such as the subway (long AND detailed, even the outdoors section, even more than certain subway themed maps).
The final city section is also a very good example of how to make a city look good using just standard Doom textures and mapping features: it has alleys, second floors, nice detail, even "garbage" on the streets.
Speaking of which....UAC_DEAD.WAD is certainly pretty unique, and also Dead Base. If you want to see a "my house" type level that doesn't suck and is deceivingly hard and secret-laden, try Urban Wars Beta, sadly never made into a complete series as promised.... :-(
The "forest", paved road, streetlights, basketball court and outdoors toilets in Cybie 2 also push the boundaries of what you'd consider acceptably representable with the Doom engine.
