If you wanna good server, I think you need be a good programmer or hire him. Don't put lot of addons in your servers, it will kill players' fps, make your server different. Order scripts, use unique scripts, make your server unique and people will join to you.
I will recommend you use old weapon base, today people don't use it, name: Customizable Weaponry 1.0

Nah man; 2fps.
There's a leak on here called "Simple Weather", love it. And doesn't hurt my fps.
If you really want to make your server nice and playerable; make sure not to use any obnoxious addons, or anything that's just pure low-quality and horrible. Use some nice playermodels, do not overdo playermodels, only get them if you feel you need them. People hate spending 2hrs joining a server just to download massive addons that they'll never likely see.
Get a nice gun pack, administration mod and the like. If you need more suggestions, hmu.
Meh, along with some FPS drops here and there, it's reasonably heavy, and has decent amount of settings. I personally do not care about any of that and just want it to rain.
