'Standard' (or Basic) script selection for a public server?

Looking for comments / suggestions about:

Which scripts would you suggest for a basic setup of a public server, implementing the functionalities most players would expect nowadays? That is, not considering specific features which may appeal to a fraction of the users and may accommodate specific playing styles (also, I would keep separated scripts dealing with economy / trade, as this area is still rather fluid).

(The following list is updated according to the suggestions posted below)

1) Basic selection:
Area protection by yahgiggle
Compass by yahgiggle
Home by TutMeistensNix
Teleport by s3mt3x

2) Server admins will expect to find:
WorldEdit by LordFoobar / yahgiggle
Zscript by Zabka / yahgigle (last, updated version)

3) Additional scripts players may expect to find installed:
MyMessages by yahgiggle
Portals by yahgiggle

Corrections / additions? Also, if anybody knows of a better link to some of the scripts listed above, please let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks to @bleckman and @Chrisx84 for their comments.

Quote from Chrisx84

AP 2, VorNet(duh) Zscript, portals, //tpa, world edit, Compass and MyMessages is all i have on my server

Am I right in assuming that:

1) Zabka's Zscript is more for admin than for 'regular' players? (still a useful suggestion, though)
2) "//tpa" command is included in s3mt3x's Teleport?
3) WorldEdit by LordFoobar / yahgiggle is also is not something to leave the players have fun with?
4) Chris' VorNet is mostly economy-oriented and then falls in a category I would like to keep separate?
5) yahgiggle's MyMessages is somewhat specific and might go beyond a 'basic' configuration?
6) ditto for yahgiggle's Portals?

Then, Compass by yahgiggle is indeed something players may expect to find.

I'll update the list in the OP. Thanks, M.

Question:

I am quoting above the Home script by TutMeistensNix. However, this script has German texts, while I have seen running on several servers a functionally equivalent script with English texts.

Does anybody know if it is a different script or just a translation of the same script?
