On my current character, the loot surprises have improved. I'm assuming due to the patch, as mentioned. Dragonbone cuirass in early 20's, but of course I can't use it on this LA character. Finally, Dragonscale cuirass at around level 40-ish. But nothing to go with it yet.
I found a Staff of Paralysis fairly early, but don't recall the level. Actually, my current character has found a ton of sweet staves now that I think about it. Rarely use them, so once I got past using a follower (around 18 I believe) I just started selling them. (Note - the hired Merc Vorstag in Markarth is great with staves. Give him some good ones and he's like a pseudo-Marcurio at range and a tank in melee.)
Best "normal" loot I go after early is a Falmer Bow in Shimmermist. Just far enough to get that bow. Falmers are a nightmare at early levels, but it's the highest base rating bow that early and you only need to take out the one Falmer to get the stuff in that area. Then I go back in about 10 or so levels to clear the rest of it.
