Some mods are worth the switch, while others are definitely not.
I only use a handful of mods that I made myself, but that's because the overhaul mods that would cover the aspects I changed also change a bunch of other stuff I prefer to leave as-is.
You should take any claims that a mod is 'must-have' with a large grain of salt, since that's entirely a matter of personal preference. For example: a lot of folks swear by the Increased Wasteland Spawns mod, because it greatly increases the number of encounters; myself and a few others, on the other hand, prefer that a desert remain sparsely populated, and thus have no use for IWS.
While I don't use them because I made my own, I would recommend looking into crafting/survival, Energy Weapon, and creature behavior overhauls, since those are some of the weaker aspects of the game. If you're into using Power Armor there are a couple of mods for that as well, although some of those are a bit excessive unless you're also using +difficulty mods.
