I wonder if I should play AGCEEP mod right away from the start or bother with the standard game before. Do most players use AGCEEP as a standard For the Glory game?

I played vanilla EU2 and AGCEEP FTG. I'd go with AGCEEP as it's just got more stuff.
Personally I see Vanilla FTG as a nice set of scenarios which are not included in AGCEEP. BTW it seems that for the war scenarios it's best to set the AI at aggressive or furious in FTG v1.1.
You've got:
1492 - Spanish colonization of America
1617 - Thirty years' war
1700 - War of the Spanish succession
1773 - American revolutionary war
1795 - Napoleonic wars
All of these scenarios can be pretty fun to play and you wont get too many events to bother you if you're a newcomer. That being said if you want to play the grand campaign I really don't see why you shouldn't play AGCEEP.

Of course, if you play vanilla then you should play Neapolitan for improved culture-based fun. 
I really wonder why anyone is still playing vanilla map.
I played WATKBAOI and eugh, way too messy in germany.
Until WATK + agceep comes, or Arabia is finished, I'm sticking to the vanilla map.
Yeah we all do have different tastes. But anyway it's always good to try Vanilla before playing mods or else you won't really notice the big changes.

Well, since I played EU2 and AGCEEP before, I think I could launch AGCEEP first. I wasn't sure about that because I don't know how many changes have been made to the vanilla game.
