Mega list of mod recs: suggestions welcomed
Great list! I especially second the rec for Black Hearts (for non-EET games, it also has a little ToB follow-up, installed via a separate download). It's an absolute delight, and really builds the character of Illasera, who is otherwise completely forgettable in the vanilla game.

Are there any weapon expansion mods
Forgotten Armament and Underrepresented Items are both great mods. They do a lot to make different weapon groups more viable, so taking halberd or bastard sword proficiency feels like a better option.

BGII EE essential mods
For item mods, I like Forgotten Armament and Underrepresented Items, which port items from NWN2 and Icewind Dale, respectively. Good for fleshing out certain weapon categories that are otherwise a little sparse (clubs, bastard swords, etc).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Black-Hearts-BG2 and Under-Respresented_Items you can also consider the following projects:
Black-Hearts
Jasteys_SoD_Tweakpack - Jastey's SoD related tweaks, for SoD, EET, or even BGT.
bg1ub - Similar to its BG2 cousin, BG1 Unfinished Business ("BG1UB") is designed to restore many of the cut items, quests, dialog, and encounters from the game's final release, as well as try to tie up some of the "loose ends."
CowledMenace - Unravel the mysteries of the Twisted Rune and investigate the Cowled Wizards in this Enhanced Edition Trilogy mod!
Item_Upgrade - The Item Upgrade Mod Pack allows Cromwell and Cespenar to upgrade more items for you. Half of them are conveniences, the other half try to prop up weapon categories that are "weak" by comparison (e.g., maces and clubs).
