ArcticMC is a new survival server that started only a couple days ago and it feels pretty calm and friendly.
It is an SMP with Towny and factions so you can build a town then team up with others or try to take and defend territory.
PvP matters here but they use an honor system that is explained in their rules so fights are meant to stay fair.
You also get McMMO skills so you level up stuff like mining and combat while you play and you can unlock special abilities.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks realistic with big mountains and valleys and lots of nice places to build.
They also have custom items and even furniture that is entity based and they plan limits to help prevent lag.
