I prefer Rise of the Runelords (PF # 1-6) and Curse of the Crimson Throne (PF # 6-12) over Second Darkness (PF # 13-18) but I think some volumes may be out of print.
That said, the first adventure in the new adventure path, Legacy of Fire (PF # 19-24) is the next volume to release so it might be good to just jmp on board with that:
Pathfinder #19—Legacy of Fire Chapter 1: "Howl of the Carrion King"
Try out Rise of the Runelords if you can find it in print (or if you don't mind using PDFs). That first AP features cackling goblins, gruesome ogres, plenty of giants, even more giants, and eventually one of the Runelords himself. If you liked the old Temple of Elemental Evil/Scourge of the Slave Lords/QDQ 1-7 series, then you'll like Rise of the Runelords.
That said, I think all of Paizo's adventures are top of the line and you'd also be happy with Curse of the Crimson Throne or Second Darkness...or just pick up a Pathfinder subscription and start Legacy of Fire with the rest of us.
Three locations dear to my heart:
The Labyrinth of Shiman-Sekh :D
The Pyramid of An-Hepsu XI
And one particular location mentioned in a certain individual's writeup / section in the Elemental Plane of Water in The Great Beyond (that I won't mention because the book isn't out yet and Sean may yet laugh, mock it, and delete it with glee).

The Underworld
Deep beneath everything is the Underworld. A space beneath the rock above and below that extends forever - separated only by support columns.
As the Underworld is continuous in cross section then it is well beyond fail at 24,000 miles/3 miles = 8000 then the columns must be impressive. 15840 x 0.12 = 1,901' diameter with spacing of 15840 x 0.6 =9,504' spacing. These are special columns however.
As the underworld (despite the surface's circumference of 24,000 miles) is not a limit but a continuous space between a shell and a sphere, The columns that prevent a collapse are spheres of purest Mithril and they roll as the world above moves about the world below.
The Underworld is a realm of darkness and ghosts. The only noise here is the movement of the great mithril bearings that support the surface world.

Is the Labyrinth based on the Labyrinth of Moeris from Greek accounts of Ancient Egypt?

Entirely buried, but yes indeed it was an inspiration for the general concept there. :)
Since this thread has had a True Resurection cast on it; The Undercity of Kaer Maega is calling. :)
there's already too much dungeon crawls, I'd only make an exception for the Spire of Nex
there's already too much dungeon crawls...
Never! You can never have too much dungeon crawl action! One should only come up for air to visit the tavern and hire more meat shields, er, retainers and henchmen.
