If we are talking besides the vanilla maps, I like quite a few but if custom maps then Bigfoot has a nice little collection of them here that you can browse through and try out. I highly recommend some of the remakes they have done from various other Quake games. Start at q1 on the list to see the ones I am speaking of. I am a Quake 2 fan as well so I recently made this remake of q2dm8 (warehouse) which I am pretty happy with after some texture problems I originally had. Can download that here.
Also r00k has a good selection of maps over at the Qrack site here. To include KOTH maps that work well with his CAx mod.
I am a big fan of trick maps even though I suck at them and they aren't exactly for DM but it would be nice to have them as options for voting.
Also check out Paul's site called Multiplayer Quake Archive that has lots of reviews of custom DM maps! Highly recommended. It's an archived site now but still relevant!
I haven't given you anything specific. But I am sure many here can make recommendations. Maybe this will give you additional places to look and get some reviews.
I believe all the maps I linked you will work with vanilla quake no problem. No need for additions. How do you mean organizing? You mean organizing them in your folder? You can do that and change the code a bit and could load them just fine from whatever folder organization you chose inside of the maps folder.
Oh just need to put coop and dm maps in different folders, but it's hard to know what is what sometimes, unless a website lists them specifically as dm or coop.
But the reason that I ask for peoples' favourites is so I can make a list for the mapvote on my server. I have now grabbed all those bigfoot maps, but there are > 500 of them, so until I find a way of adding that many to mapvote I want to hand-pick a few that people would like to play.
*Edit. I really need to find a way of organising my maps..
If you head on over to Bigfoot in Holland (connect bigfoot.servequake.com:26000), Damage in the UK (connect damage.servequake.com:26000), or FFany in New York (connect newyork.quakeone.com:26000) and type say !maps and then follow the instructions to navigate your way down to your prefered map type you should be able to find a good selection all organised nicely
Hope this helps

I'm partial to dm4, but it has its flaws. dm3 is the normal, go-to dm level, with dm6 being the next contender. It used to be that on a CAx server, you could get a vote passed for q1edge or q3dm6qw on occasion. Those were fun.
