It really depends on if you're more focused on Light/Medium or Heavy/Strict role-play servers. Some good heavy role-play servers would be Valhalla (haven't played there in years, but they were heavy the last I checked), Los Santos Role-Play (the comment about them being elitist is come by quite honestly), Red County Role-Play (a personal favorite of mine, however it could have a bit of updating once in a while). Examples of Light/Medium are going to be pretty much any RP server in the hosted tab these days, which you've clearly already been through. Those are all the shitty NGG "copycat" servers that you're talking about. If you're really interested, you could try looking around on the sa-mp forums and in people's signatures for role-play servers in development. The reason to look at these is that your support oftentimes can be the only thing that keeps these servers afloat, and some of them turn out to be larger servers in the future. If you're patient, you can often find yourself in very good shape in regards to status on some of these "Project" servers. My advice: find an open-beta that suits you, and play there.
