From what I've seen, Mike Patton is generally respected throughout the forum. Of course, not everybody was born to agree. Some people worship him. Some people don't care for him. Some people don't know who he is.
Mr. Bungle is my favorite project involving Mike Patton, seconded by either Faith No More or Tomahawk. Irony is a Dead Scene and General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners are both really good collaborations. Lovage is good if you feel like listening to something that's going to make you want to fuck somebody and then laugh your ass off. Fantomas's best work was Director's Cut, and that's really good. I also got one of his solo albums called Pranzo Oltranzista. It took a little while to grow on me, but it eventually did.
The only things I haven't heard from him that I'm aware of are Moonchild, his work with Zu, and I never really looked into Peeping Tom. I've heard a track or two, but that's about it.
