i´m not a purist, but with this combination of Great House mods you´re likely to get into trouble.
Grandmaster of Hlaalu is buggy and incompatible with Rise of the House Telvanni and Join All Houses is very likely to break Rise as well.
in any case, read RoHT´s readme carefully.
you should really consider playing a Telvanni character only imo.
playing a mage heavy char is the most interesting way to play Morrowind anyway, plus Rise of the House Telvanni + Uvirith´s Legacy together add HUGE amount of mostly quality content for the House.
can´t comment on Building Up Uvirith´s Legacy, but i´m pretty sure that with these three alone you´re looking at approx 60 hours of content.
anyway, since you seem to be determined to experience a lot of content and don´t seem to be that much concerned with lore, i´d recommend considering adding Morrowind Advanced and Creatures X too - you´re likely
to spend a good chunk of time at high levels and vanilla monster list isn´t really all that exciting for that.
for similar reasons, i´d also recommend
Darknut's Greater Dwemer Ruins Volume 1, which makes the endgame much more challenging while staying relatively lore firendly. here´s [spoilers]
a trailer.
also, i´d stay away from Sabregirl´s Ecology - it fucks up Bloodmoon with retardedly animated deers and is very prone to doubling so you´re likely to end up with 60 deers or guars at one place and such.

yeah, well, this is obviously a matter of taste and a lot of them suck, but i think a good mix can positively add to game´s atmosphere, not destroy it.
incidentally, i just reinstalled Morrowind 10 days ago and was rather satisfied with my basic retex setup. installation went roughly like this, in this order:
1.
Morrowind Texture Fix
Bloodmoon Texture Fix
correct UV rocks
this "prepares" the game for addition of sharper textures
2.
Morrowind Visual Pack - Combined
Jarrod's Bloodmoon texture pack
a base that puts most of textures "in line"
3.
all of Connary´s textures. for most of architecture and landscapes hist textures are simply the best and very purist-y.
he put all of his uploads down to "make place" for his all-encompassing Compendium, but that´s likely to be released in 2015, so until then, here´s this link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2JRYL4BT
that should be enough, as far as environments go, but for certain places there are better alternatives, so
4.
Telvanni Exterior UV Fix
Hi-Res Telvanni Textures
Green Marble Mournhold
Swiveller's Soils: Azura's Coast
Darknut's Dwemer Ruin textures
Natural Night Sky
5.
for weapons, armor and creatures, Darknut´s are by far the best, but he has some issues with packaging, so i´d recommend checking out
BTB's Morrowind Mod List which properly describes how to install them issue-free.
checking out
mods made by vurt shouldn´t hurt too, he probably takes his artistic license too far to stay purist friendly, but personally i really like his work.
anyway, i certainly like my Morrowind graphics whored
