Doomsday/jDoom was what I used the last time I tried to play it about five years ago. It modernizes the engine a bit so you can have modern niceties such as WASD movement and mouselook.

It even had an option to replace the sprites with 3D models, but I found I much preferred the sprites.

100% agreed. use the Doom high res texture pack for higher resolution walls and floors, but keep the sprite monsters - the 3D ones have a different art style.
High res textures really fall into the uncanny valley for me. The original low resolution textures let your brain fill in the gaps, and it's pretty good at that.
