I've only finished the main quest once. I stopped playing that character immediately afterward. At the time there were no quest mods so playing a quest mod wasn't an option with that character.
For me, I guess it would depend on the character and the story I was telling with that character. I can picture playing modded quests after the main quest if it was appropriate for my character. I've been thinking of doing the main quest a second time with a Paladin-esque character in order to do Reclaiming Sancre Tor, for instance.
I could also picture a character traveling to a different worldspace, like Windfall or Anequina, after doing the main quest. I would see it as a kind of Lone Ranger scenario: "My work here is done." *rides off into the sunset*
Mostly, I think it would just depend on the character.
