I only seen a few crafted Sets yet, and the ones I found looked a bit underwhelming compared to dungeon or Trail Sets, even those that need alot of traits researched…

Are there any crafted sets that can hold their own compared to droped sets?

    They aren't meant to "hold their own" per se, but there are some nice ones you can craft, yes. They're mainly meant to be a gap-closer between random questing gear while leveling and the trial gear you're aiming for as BiS.

    Some of them are bland, some are pretty darn good. Which ones are good for you depends a lot on your class and spec, though. Hundings is a big one for stam, Julianos for mag, Torugs for tanks ... and a few others that work well for more specific builds.

    Crafted sets are very good for leveling a new character in pve.
    As for PvP there are some great sets that perform very well if you synergize them with other sets. For example Morkuldin and The Hunt (Maelstrom Arena set).

    For PvP there absolutley are.

    For PvE there are, as others have said, good sets to help get you there. With future balance passes and sets that come out who knows. Once up one a time Twice Born Star was best in slot for PvE builds, and was for a long time. In the end doing your trait research is also handy to be able to transmute traits on your items.
    Cadwell, I seem to have run out of forks to give.

    Cleaerly the OP doesnt belong to a guild that has all the sets so that they can spend some time mulling them over to see which does what.

    If i am leveling up a new magicka based toon, i like to use 5 of seducer, 5 of torugs pact, and 2 items (usu head and shoulder) of inate axiom. I'll make the chest heavy and the legs medium and the other 5 armor pieces light. Depending on the needs of the build i'll use either 7 magicka enchants on the armor or 6 magicka and one health enchant on the chest. Usu use damage enchants on the jewls and a magicka restore enchant on the back bar weapon and a destro enchant on the front bar weapon. ALso i'll make all armor and weapons with the training trait. Works great for leveling up to 50 for the alts.

    Also depending on the armors i have collected, i may make the above setup for cp 160 toons with divine traits on the armor and something more appropriate like infused and charged for weapon traits on the weapons until i get the sets i want in the traits i want. I have a NB healerthat is still using that gear on NA server and she does great as a healer for dungeons and trials. Obviously i'm not taking her into vet trials but i have used that setup as a healer nb to farm vet cos and vet coa2 for my alts that needed those monster sets. Though i am using chokethorn in lieu of inate axiom since i have it. 3 and 2 trait sets that can farm, as a healer anyway, for my dd alts that cant get into a vet dungeon to farm them for themselves. Doesnt sound like weak gear to me. Perhaps you should try adjusting the thinking you have been indoctrinated with by them 'end game' crowd?

    Hundings Rage and Julianos, the standard stamina and magicka dps crafted sets. Hundings you can find overland, while Julianos you need Wrothgar to access.

    Hunding’s Rage, Torug’s Pact, Julianos are all solid, they are not best in slot but even at end game they are still decent choices. To be honest there are a few folks who hold themselves as great DPS who would be better served with hundings than the more skill dependant trial sets. Also a friends trial group recently stared using a stamina sorcerer with night mothers to plaster whole trial pulls with major fracture, they were quite pleased

    I don’t do vet myself anymore but I can’t imagine my magic Templar without Torug’s

    Yes, yes there are. This is one of the rare games where I have usefulness from crafting.

    I use a crafted set as one of my 5-5-2's on 3 of my characters at max level (Sload's, Hundings, Julianos). I know a few more sets I would use: (check site below)

    Bates Vesuius of Dawnstar | Imperial - Dragonknight <Fire Damage>

    mmoRPG personal lore:
    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard Paladin and the wielder of Chrysamere; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. (not only Sai Sahan has a secret snowflake!) Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from undead, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being from Hammerfell, and a Redguard wields two massive swords in respect to the Ansei. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight.

    Jux Blackheart a master thief that was frequenting the Sisters of the Sands inn for pilfering during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of this and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight and his greed. He lost two fingertips as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught...

    Kaotik Von’Daemon is an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, a Breton monk and two Imperial soldiers. One of the Imperials claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (Ras Kalik's mentor in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn is really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son, that was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired battle-mage soldier and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn is also a master of disguise, and uses his disguises while he robs various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Tharn also runs an illegal gambling ring...

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a Breton and also a prominent monk of the Cult of the Ancestor Moth, was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Ancestor Moth cult worshippers wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure. Ras Kalik did indeed notice the sword however, and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Breton men have parted ways for now... While Ras Kalik is off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little does Kalik know a few people are awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The one known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons, is awaiting his arrival also.

    The journey to Senchal will also put him on a path to meet a strange man which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is only known as "the member C-4", as he gave up his born name when joining the cult. Cee Fôr is on a path to spread the disease as he was infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Cee For know, the infection is tied to Vampirism, but eventually the need for blood, will take over.

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected) within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in the Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Bates Vesuius of Dawnstar - grandfather of Silus Vesuius.

    Uri Ice-Heart - twin of Urfon Ice-Heart. Twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart that are originally from Markarth but are now residing on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, their younger sister Araki has also relocated but she is in Windhelm currently. The twins joined the Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed east to Hammerfell with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri sent his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety to avoid the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. (but he doesn't know his sister has moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild). After hearing of Urfon's death... Uri left the Reach and is seeking vengeance.

    There is one craftable set that affects sneaking, that is Night's Silence and it just removes the movement penalty of moving around while sneaking. The majority of sets that help with sneaking are farmed overland sets. You can't make those.
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.

    As others said, Hundings and Julianos are the default baseline sets until you have dungeon/trial sets, they are a solid general purpose choice for stam and mag respectively.

    Other crafted sets are more situational and more depends on your build, but can be useful, especially on low levels while leveling. The ones to came to my mind in no particular order: Innate Axiom, Torugs, Seducer, Fortified Brass, Mechanical Acuity, Night Mothers, Shacklebreaker, Kagrenac, Twice-Born.
