I don't believe in the no-win scenario
I find it to be a poor megadungeon system. Not a bad thing in my book as I dont really like them anyways.

I think it isn't a megadungeon.
Instead, it's designed as a quest dungeon - you're exploring it to complete a quest, not doing expeditions to find what is there.
I was running Castle of the Mad Archmage from Joseph Bloch, and that is far more a megadungeon. No real plot, although you can add in subquests, but just LOTS AND LOTS OF PLACES TO EXPLORE!
Cheers,

Maaaybe? I was always told it was a megadungeon becasue its the same place and you can go wherever in that one place for the entire campaign. I never knew that having a metaplot made it not a megadungeon. Either way im still not sold.

Paizo should have just released the 5e version of Abomination Vaults, which is hailed as a great adventure path. The compiled Kingmaker adventure path for PF 2e has a 5e Bestiary, which gives you all the stats you need.
Mr. Tarrasque has a lot of good things to say about Scarlet Citadel. He's a Kobold Press fanboy, but his love of the adventure seems genuine. He has a few videos on it.
I've heard good things about Dungeons of Drakkenheim as well. I'd love to play it.

I'm fond of the megadungeon Dwimmermount, by the owner of the Grognardia blog.

I believe Abomination Vaults has been converted? Here's a link: paizo.com - Pathfinder Adventure Path: Abomination Vaults (5e) Special Edition

I came here to name the same adventure. How is your campaign going?
I'm actually simultaneously DMing a campaign and playing it in another group. It's not an ideal situation, but we made it work. It truly is a remarkable campaign, and it supports different playing styles fairly well too.

Paths of Immortality doesn't get enough mention, though outside the PF1e circles I'm not sure how many are even aware of it.
Early Paizo after their WotC split had some of it's most awesome material.
Unafraid to try and do new things, and absolutely hitting homeruns while doing it.

There's probably 20 (or more) that I could list because there are a lot of good ones, but the difference between many of the well-made campaign comes down content preference.
In no particular order:
1. Kingmaker
2. Curse of the Crimson Throne (Paizo, PF1, but converting it is easy).
3. Call from the Deep
4. Crown of the Oathbreaker
5. Raiders of the Serpent Sea
Like Crimson Throne, there are a lot of PF1 APs that are really, really good, but I'd stay away from the PF2 APs as all but one (Abomination Vaults, maaaaybe 2, have been garbage.
