General Recommendation for Traveller scenario/campaign for beginners

Do you have any recommendation for Traveller adventures or campaigns for new players and referee (not new to RPGs, just Traveller)? I am intending to go with MGT2e, but happy to convert scenarios from any version of Traveller.

Also happy to be linked to an existing relevant thread on COTI (but I couldn't find one) or elsewhere (I've probably found all the Reddit threads on this subject).
 
High and Dry for MgT2 and One Crowded Hour (for MgT1, in the Crowded Hours compendium) would be my first choices.
 
Shadows is a dungeon crawl. It's a very good dungeon crawl.
Across the Bright Face and Marooned are both good hex crawls.

If you want just a framework, the Adventure 0 The Imperial Fringe is a great "let's hit every world in the subsector" "adventure"...
 
The Traveller Adventure.

Crew of a subsidized merchant gets drawn into adventure and inter-megacorp hijinks during their allowed off-route time. Classic Traveller per RAW, albeit from the post-"proto-Traveller" Third Imperium era.
 
I usually use “Smowfall” by Joe Webb - available at freelance traveller (at least it used to be). It pretty much generic sci fi so easy to relate to and fast to engage people. Bring in little bits of trav background to break em in slowly. It’s got a good plot, variety of scenes and is fairly linear but can be expanded so it doesn’t feel so.
