I actually really like the photoreal stuff. Most of the US stuff I have is Megascenery Earth, purely due to their coverage. I have a few Newport sceneries as well.
I'd avoid the Taburet stuff as that tends to be satellite images with a weird green cast to them.
A good graphics card and some playing with the mipmap setting in the fsx.cfg now have me flying nicely over most photoscenery.
I like being able to look out the window and see the real world. Landclass stuff is an improvement over standard, but still suffers a lot of the same problems (roads running through water, golf courses etc).

Gottfried Razek has some good photoscenery at http://www.blueskyscenery.com/index.html. It can be kind of a pain downloading a substantial area, but the price is right on (free).

There are other developers working on photo scenery. Like the guy who announced his "Flagship product" three years ago and who has customers waiting for something resembling a finished product. Or the developer who was going to churn out (my term) all seasons with autogen at 10,000 sq. km every two weeks. Still chuckling about that one...
I'll have some freeware/donations accepted stuff uploaded eventually, but it's taking a while at 40gb+ and a slow upload speed. Mine will include mesh and airports where they should be and ridding the world of those nasty plateaus.
So there is good stuff to check out and some not so good stuff to run way from.
