You may check Gerbode's Excel file and sort it by difficulty. He has ratings of 1...6 and sometimes they are _very_ subjective but it may help to get an idea of the degree of challenge of the individual piece.

Among the unsung (or at least less-often sung), I'm particularly fond of Valentin Bakfark. Bakfark may be a little more on the challenging side, but not so much as Melchior Neusidler.

So far, I love Francesco da Milano and most anonymous pieces from the Siena Ms., they never get tiresome and lie gently on the hands. Also Hans Neusiedler and Luis Milan. Not in this category: Albert de Rippe. Amazing music, but honestly, did this guy have six fingers on each hand?? What are your favourites? Is there any obscure repertoire to discover?
