These are my favorites of those that have been made in the last couple of weeks...

Deck 17 (final) http://www.mapraider.com/maps/?fileid=128 - I never tried the beta, since i never really got into Deck 16 in UT, but I decided to try this out last night, and it rocks. 'nuff said.

Tree of Ages and Eternal Death http://www.unrealplayground.com/mapper.php?id=1912 - Both from the same mapper, both visually beautiful and gameplay is awesome. Tree of Ages is quite similar to Tokara Forest, but original enough that it doesn't matter. It doesn't have a lot of dodging space, but enough corners to avoid spam.
Eternal Death is set in a graveyard of sorts, but it's fortunately not filled with stones (that was one thing that bugged me about the Nightmare before Christmas map). It has excellent flow IMO, and it's roomy enough to have a decent zoom instagib match.

Starfall http://www.realityfakers.tk/ - Freaky looking stuff...very original. just...plain...fun.

Refuge http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/planetunreal/luggage/dm-refuge.zip - Small cavernous layout...nice for a chaotic match with half dozen players or a decent 1-on-1.
There's a hole in it that I fell through once, but I haven't found it a second time, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Crooked Forest http://www.chasingradium.com/ - Another psychedelic piece of work....I've been watching the development of this for a couple of months. The author of the map said the final would be available in 2 hours...still waiting......

Found any more exceptional skins lately? The Chiana (from Frascape) is pretty good....

The last one I downloaded was Homer Simpson, to replace the robot I was using with the Homer voicepack.
I also downloaded the manga spawn skin you mentioned, and I'm using that for offline play, but I still haven't seen anything i like better than Massacre. There's a Lynn model I use a lot, which is basically a semi-nude Lauren, and also a UPL that adds the skeleton model to the player list. I'm hoping to find a Skaarj or Nali war cow sometime soon, but according to one interview there should be some more of the Unlreal/UT characters added with an upcoming bonus pack.

Yeah, I have all of those too. How do you customize the bots with the different voice packs?

After you've extracted the files from both the model and voicepack, you should be able to just copy the voice portion from the voicepack UPL file (e.g. Voice=HomerJay3.HomerJay3), and paste it into the model's UPL...so it'll look something like this (single line):

Player=(DefaultName="Homer",Mesh=HomerAnim.Homer,species=xGame.SPECIES_Jugg,BodySkin=Homer.HomerSkin,
FaceSkin=Homer.HomBod,Portrait=Homer.HomerIcon,Voice=HomerJay3.HomerJay3,Text=XPlayers.Homie,Sex=male,
Menu="SP",Aggressiveness=+0.5,CombatStyle=+0.6,FavoriteWeapon=xWeapons.RocketLauncher,Ragdoll=Male)

Then delete the voicepack UPL so you don't end up with two characters using the same voicepack. The game will grab the taunts from HomerJay3.u, and use the other sounds (grunts and hits) from the juggernaut. If you want to change those other sounds, then change the species/sex of your model. The species names are all found in xplayersL1.upl. I changed the species of Spawn to night male, though sometimes it seems to revert back to juggernaut....maybe there's some hard-coded audio tied to the juggernaut model.
