Hmm. Well, some of the best stuff I have seen are from people like these:

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/24073

They try for high realism, or as high as possible, but with the addition 
of funky elements, like having one chair leg repaired oddly, or other 
"ghostly" effects.

These guys do some real good stuff too.

A lot of things have taken off do to allowing mesh now, and some insane 
stuff was, and still is, done with "prim torture", also known as 
displacement mapping (or sculpties).

Also, the places made by "some" of the residents, and almost always by 
Linden themselves, can be just insanely detailed and amazing. One major 
part of the area I roleplay in is being remodeled (but not yet 
"public"), with all the new lighting systems, mesh, texture support, 
etc. in them. These people are.. still a bit out of my league, to say 
the least. lol
