To be honest, Pointy, I haven't done too many of the epic quests beyond the Eveningstar ones we did and Thunderholme (which were insanely difficult on EE and pretty cool - thank goodness we had Noobicabra as a guide lol) Of the list you posted:
I do Catacombs for the Silver Flame patronage (to get the city regen) but it isn't much for loot or XP (probably about 20,000 for all seven parts at a time when XP is pretty abundant due to Waterworks, STK, Tangleroot, the Guard Jung one, and the Bloodknuckles one).
I helped create the Restless Isle/Titan raid back in my days on Mournlands, and I believe it still holds the record for longest-to-be-defeated-raid-in-MMO-history. The pre-raid is difficult to short man for several reasons, and the raid itself is challenging enough...especially with the new loot tables, it isn't a high priority (though it definitely had its place in the annals of DDO!)
I did Temple of Elemental Evil once, and it took like three hours to complete. Even with Wesley Crusher from Star Trek narrating it, and the novelty of it being an original D&D module, it wasn't my favorite, as it was long, predictable, and in the end was pretty poor for XP.
I have not done The Devil's Gambit line and don't know anything about it.
The Reign of Madness quests are along the line of of "Delirium" that we used to run (when we would drink the beholders under the table and fight in the weird Xoriat alter plane). Noobicabra really likes this quest line, though I haven't done it. I would be up for dungeon crawling it sometime.
I do not recall ever running Harbinger of Madness.
Secrets of the Artificer came out when House Cannith was introduced. It is nice because it has set of challenge quests akin to the Kobold quest during the Three Barrel Cove events, and has a whole unique set of Cannith Crafting gear and weapons. The end raid give some named items (e.g. Propulsion Boots) that are decent for their level. This is one that you would get to grind for crafting, akin to The Shroud.
Druid's Deep is part of the Eveningstar quests, and if you like the Eveningstar quests, then it is an extension of the Forgotten Realms quests.
High Road is akin to Druid's Deep.
I haven't done the Heart of Madness quests line...
...or the Against the Slave Lords quest line...
..or the Haunted Hall of Eveningstar, but oh my, what a map!

Honestly, you have so much XP available and a lot of the main quest lines... gosh, there is Epic VON, Epic, Necropolis (which is L29 epic...I went in there once on Trychel, fought a really cool demon to get my level, and got the heck out because it was *really* hard!), Epic Red Fens, Epic House Phiarlan Carnival (House P), epic Sentinels of Stormreach (House D), epic Three Barrel Cove, and all but what we've already done in Eveningstar.... XP and variety are already in action, so I would say whatever you find intriguing, or after a little research has the best XP or loot!
Regarding XP, here is what the forums say are the best epic XP quests:
Von 3 (Vault of the Night)
Gianthold Tor (Gianthold preraid quest)
Impossible Demands (Menace of the Underdark)
The House of Rusted Blades, with the matron, whatever that means lol (Menace of the Underdark)
The Deal and the Demon (Menace of the Underdark)
Tomb of the Wizard King (Sands)
Spies in the House (Sentinels of Stormreach)
Unquiet Graves (Menace of the Underdark)
with the recommendation to do these on Epic Hard for the maximum XP/minute due to the increased difficulty scaling of Epic Elite.
Also, seed farming for TR Heart Seeds:

Hope this helps! It helped me just researching and writing it! lol
