Too broad of a question, so either the person needs to pick just a few ones, or to spend a few hours writing an answer. I'd have quite a few suggestions, but likewise, can't think of any I'd pick over others, and don't want to spend a few hours again.

MODERATORS
Apps on F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid (f-droid repo) are generally trustworthy.
Anything specific you are looking for?
I have some 1800 APKs on my server - if we say half of them are duplicates that's still 800.
And you expect me to index and review them all for you?
You'd be better served to ask for specific recommendations.
Not specifically. I just discovered Blip from a post and it's been great. I was curious about what people find are useful that are not well known.
A week or so ago, I did see that some people were raising some concern over downloading from f-droid and to use obtanium to directly install apps from GitHub instead.
I'm using both, the only real difference is you have to trust the github hosted apk with obtainium.
Hail with Shizuku. It makes debloating easier plus about 6:1 of my apps are frozen through it because while I want (or in some cases need) them I also don't want them to have free run to freely run in the background until I say they can.
I use Hail with Shizuku to freeze apps I don't want running in the background too, but for debloating specifically I've found Canta, which also needs Shizuku rights, to be an absolute godsend.
