Doom Patrol would be the safest to recommend as it comes closest to mirroring the Marvel Age sensibility, but how did you like the Flash and GL books?
Personally, I've come to appreciate both Marvel and DC's Silver Age styles - they aren't mutually exclusive tastes IMO. If you really enjoyed those Schwartz edited DC books, then chances are you'd also like Atom, Hawkman, Adam Strange, or the upcoming Atomic Knights collection.

It's hard to give a short answer. What do you enjoy most about the comics you like? The artwork? The writing? The characters?
For the artwork there's lots of great choices. Aquaman Archives has beautiful Ramona Fradon art; Adam Strange, Murphy Anderson; Shazam Family, Mac Raboy; etc.

If you like Green Lantern, then Atom is a must. I like to buy Showcases as it gives me a chance to try out material I haven't necessarily read before and which I wouldn't buy in Archives as some of them are really quite poor and aren't keepers. Hawkman is worth a go for the art by Kubert and Anderson. The stories got a little weaker over time.
The Jonah Hex and Enemy Ace Showcases are both superb non-superhero material.
