Good sets are a real mess, but it has its advantages. For starters it classifies public domain ROMs, translations, trainers, specific old emulator/copier fixes and unfortunately a lot of bad/overdumped ROMs everyone loves not to discard. If you're looking for anything like this, Good sets are for you but keep them Good merged to save space. The largest Good merged set so far are GoodGBA and GoodN64 with aprox. 7.00GB and 5.30GB respectively (it's easier to check this information looking at places we obviously can't reveal here but are out there for everyone). Keep in mind the latest Good tool is two years old (excepting only GoodPico which is 2 months old) and some good tools have been outdated for more than 5 years.
If you instead prefer only correct commercial dumps, the best approach is to look for no-intro sets now. No homebrew, no hacks, no bad dumps, all verified dumps and constant updates. I guess some no-intro collections don't reach as many commercial ROMs as Good Tools have, but it will get there eventually. Each Good tool takes years to update so they miss a lot of new prototypes and dumps current no-intro collections have.
As etabeta said, Good tools itself are the best way to rename no-intro sets. It's been a while since the last time I used such tools, but if I recall correctly you simply put the ROMs unzipped in a directory along with the tool and type "Goodxxx rename" (i.e. "GoodGen rename").
