World seed "gargamel" (entering world seeds with letters converts them to numbers and uppercase and lowercase get different numbers so world seeds are case sensitive) puts you in the best spawn ever and everyone should try it.
I mean, this is what you see when you dig yourself out of your spawn spot:

"gargamel" is an "absolute spawn" seed. That is, you spawn in the same place every time at x:.5 and z:.5
Here's another from the MC forums:

This is a slow sell, but it will be worth it.
First of all, this seed is awesome for anyone who wants giant biomes. The initial biome is snow, rolling hills, lots of iced-over water and extremely sparse trees. This goes on for as far as the eye can see, and in some directions, much further. You will spawn at 0,0, because there is sand under the snow there, and I walked WELL past 500, 500 before seeing more than some occasional pine trees or pine forests to break things up.
Walking the other direction, in the -,- quadrant, the snow will end much sooner. Somewhere around -250, -300 (or vice versa, maybe, doesn't matter), the ice dramatically ends. I swam across the water towards some bluffs and forests.
The bluffs turn to mountains, and they are HIGH mountains. There are a few sheer cliffs, but also a lot of easy to climb sloped sides. At the top of one mountain is a forest which is right at the cloud level. Some trees are chopped off at the top, at the map limit.
If you want to make the journey, you are heading towards roughly -540, -940. In the middle of the forest, there is a hole, with clouds passing through it, blocking your view. Travel down the hole.
This is the view from the bottom.

The seed is "Atticus".
So many good seeds, eh?
