Um, well, I don't 
I can say however that the general install order here matches the pattern I've usually followed. As for which ones, it's just down to personal taste I guess, but don't miss the Fixpack and Tweakpack at www.gibberlings3.net. The ones there and at Spellhold Studios are generally pretty good; Pocket Plane Group has some that are worth checking out too. And one of the pinned threads at the general BG forum here has a link to all mods, so sometimes it's worth going fishing.

If you are new to mods, try them out individually. Make sure you only ever install so many new mods that a) you will know exactly which mod did what and 
(which is sort of the same as a) ) they are certain not to conflict with each other. You can accumulate quite a number of mods over the years, but you should get to know them first. Nobody should install RR, SR and Refinements together for the first time - it's just not a very smart thing to do. And if you throw Ascension, Spell50 etc in as well (without having tested them prior), you will get a mishmash of not-workingness that looks great from a sitting-next-to-the-poor-guy-who-has-to-play-the-game point of view, but from nowhere else.
IMO, people should start with the G3 Fixpack, G3 Tweak Pack and the Widescreen Mod (and possibly Tutu or BGT) and then slowly add mods as they fit their current ideas of how to modify the way the game behaves - not according to some recommendation (possibly from a guy who loves an impossible challenge and hates newcomers that don't know the game inside-out yet).

I've found the following site a good comprehensive resource for seeing what mods are available.

The installation order is helpful, but you will need to read instructions for individual mods carefully to make sure you're not putting incompatible things together. Humanoid_Taifun has given you good advice above on how to proceed.
