I have no problem with stories with classic villains, but new villains are occasionally a good idea. It's a way to give Spidey a new challenge, and it can be an access point to new readers who don't have to worry about sorting out decades of backstory.
Something else that would be valuable is bringing back villains who have only popped once or twice.
He's a rich guy. Have him buy gear from supervillains, so Spidey can't be sure if the danger is in his head or real.

Lightmaster is very underrated. He could be Spider-Man's Living Laser, but better, not to mention his initial motivation for villainy was being pissed that New York State was cutting funds for higher education, which cut into his livelihood as an ESU (Empire State University) professor. Could also be excellent commentary on the devaluation of education and anti-intellectualism in contemporary society. Plus, that would probably bring back his daughter, the modern Sun Girl, to help stop him.

uhh... So there was another Fusion? I'm thinking of...

Spider-Man should always be getting new villains. Freshen up that rogues gallery!
Another villain they could bring back, that I don't believe has been used in a good, long while (I think she 'died', as much as any villain does... Calypso. She had a lot of potential as a villain, I thought, especially after the McFarlane Lizard issues she was involved in.
Yes, created by Paul Jenkins and Mark Buckingham in the early 2000s. I’d argue more well known than the other Fusion from the early 80s.

Yeah, she died at the hands of Alyosha Kravinoff at the end of his first major appearance as the then-new Kraven the Hunter in J.M. DeMatteis's Spectacular Spider-Man during the post-Clone Saga 90s comics. That said, she definitely should have come back by now, given her penchant for cheating death and all that.

Paper Doll was a great villain who should return.
Glad Digger is back.
We need villains like that to make the everyday Spidey stuff seem more fresh.
Personally, I would prefer to see Marvel giving some attention to Miles.
Miles has been around for a decade and he doesn't have a solid rogues gallery.
