The direct sequel. A natural choice.
The main character Aim For The Top! is the female version of Kamille in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. If you liked Zeta Gundam, then Aim For The Top! is a must watch. Both anime series are classics and a blast from the past. The two mecha series rare based on coming of age stories and the people they meet along during their journeys.
Same oldstyle art and plot has the feeling of 70s which is much missed in the later Gundam installments.
Gundam 00's 2nd Season draws a lot of parallels to Z Gundam, the most notable of which are A-Laws to Zeta's Titans, and Celestial Being to the Anti-Earth Union Group. Zeta is also a sequel to the first Gundam series, and considered one of the best, so it's definitely worth a watch.
Classic 80's Sunrise mecha shows. While the storyline and characters aren't really comparable between the two, the shows do give off a similar kind of vibe and atmosphere. Zeta Gundam is often noted as being one of the darkest Gundam series out there with a very serious tone and so forth, and Votoms itself is very gritty, realistic, and all around consistently mature. Votoms has a trio of goofy and likeable characters for some comedic elements but at the same time, the show sometimes feels even darker than Zeta. Both tend to get a little supernatural by the end and it works really well. Chances are if you like one of these shows, you'll be able to appreciate and enjoy the other a lot too.
Of all Tomino's non-Gundam works, Aura Battler Dunbine is probably the closest thing to basically being another Gundam, a medieval Gundam perhaps. Above all a lot of the characters and the general tone of the show feels closer to Zeta rather than the original Gundam series and others, so if you enjoyed the grimdark storytelling through Zeta and are a fan of Tomino's style, then definitely check out Dunbine. Oh and yeah, both are "Kill Em' All" Tomino for the record.
If you liked Gundam 00 season, particularly the incredibly dark and bloodly final episodes, you'll really like Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. While dated in animation, Zeta Gundam is a series which has been described as the best series ever. Moreover, it has a similar feel, complete with pure destruction, moral ambigiouty, and downbeat tone. And its bloody. They don't call the series's director Killem All Tomino for nothing!

On the other hand if you liked Zeta Gundam, you should like Gundam 00. While it starts up like a Wing ripoff, it becomes much, much more. It even has a Yazan!
Just like Seed, Seed Destiny also derives most of its material/storyline from the original Gundam series. A HUGE amount of what you watch is Seed Destiny is a remake of a lot of what happened in Zeta Gundam.
