Well, I'd say that's a tough one to answer!
Tamiya makes a set of injection moulded On Vehicle Equipment that is very nice. It's listed as the PzIV vehicle set or something like that. It is a sprue found in most of their recent Pz kits, and is available for purchase commercially at about US$5 or so. It's a good thing to have.
After that, you get into the realm of comparing resin offerings. I have a few from various companies. There are some nice buckets in the Tamiya SdKfz 251 kits, and their old barrels and jerrycans kit. The jerrycans in that set suck. They only have two handles, and are very coarsely detailed compared to recent offerings.
I have some Royal Model sets that are nice.
I have some Jaguar 75mm stug ammo and crates that are nice.
You can look at the reviews section on Track-Link for details on lots of accessory kits. There are a lot more reviews there than here, which is why I suggest visiting TL! I know Jim is trying to catch up, but TL has a few more years worth of content under its belt!!
