I am looking for a really good map to play on when I use BAT 2.0. I thought PlanetGenerator was too volatile, I was getting volcanoes wiping out my improvements before AD. Any other recommendations? Thanks!
Best map generator for BUG/BAT?

PG is one of my favorites. The volcanoes are random events unrelated to the map except that they require peaks to occur. I don't think the likelihood of an eruption is tied to the number of peaks, however (but I haven't looked at the code).
SmartMap is great for crazy landmasses with lots of flood plains on non-desert terrain. Expect the AIs to make good use of the extra food.

How can I get smartmap or the newest version of PG? Thanks.

The latest versions of each (since they haven't been updated in a while) should be installed with BUG and BAT.

I love the PG, though I have a few complaints about it- the minimum distance between continents is always the actual distance- you end up with a string of continents all N tiles apart and will never wind up with a Continents style setup with hemispheres. Also, sometimes it puts jungles on plains, which is just weird (and seems to confuse workers- I've had workers on a plains/jungle not be allowed to build a cottage, but if I clear the jungle first as its own action, the cottage action un-greys out).
But I use it anyway because I like the maps overall. Though they are a bit overfond of lakes- I've seen entire continents where the only sources of fresh water on the entire landmass was lakes, not a single river to be found.

I agree about PG. I don't like a lot of lakes breaking up the landmass. I'd rather have some long rivers. I do like the Flood Plains on lakes, however.
