Can you guys recommend one or two Scenarios that would be good as first time adventures. And, of course, if you only list one (or two) I'll be able to more easily compare a lot of recommendations. If you list eight or nine I won't be able to narrow it down as much.
Also, as wierd as it sounds, I'm not DMing these, so no spoilers, please. I'm buying it and my friend is running it for me.
So, #1 Pathfinder Society Introductory Scenario? . . . .

Silent Tide, though it is 3.5 not Pathfinder so the DM might not want to have to think about conversions. Mists of Mwangi is also a nicely self-contained scenario that needs minimal conversion.
Theb Devil We Know part1: Shipyard Rats I have run 5 times as an introductory scenario to introduce Pathfinder Society play and it also works well as an introduction of some key changes from 3.5 to Pathfinder by providing some nice encounters that allow PCs and the DM to take advantage of some of the changes.
Another vote for Silent Tide.
Personally, I would not recommend Shipyard Rats for a party of 1st level characters, but YMMV.

I ran Silent Tide last night at Tier 1-2 and the players wrecked it. It's a fine scenario for 3.5 rules, but 1st level Pathfinder RPG characters are like an ECL higher.
It really depends what your players are looking for. I think Silent Tide has a great plot and can be very suspenseful. If you have players who like to RP and don't all optimize their PCs then this is a good scenario for them. PFS#4 Frozen Fingers at Midnight is another great scenario for an introduction to the campaign setting.
However, if you have players who like to roll the dice and build their PCs carefully to be combat specialists, then PFS#29 The Devil We Know, Part 1: Shipyard Rats is a fine way to warm them up to the campaign.
