Top 5 plug-ins?

[BobCarter]

I thought it might be interesting to see what everyone uses here and if there are any gems that I may be overlooking.

What are yall's top 5 plug-ins (the one's you use the most and feel are the best)

(I'm talking about composition related plug-ins, in other words, not Waves, Mackie, SSL, etc)

My Top 5:

1) Hypersonic - for variety
2) Battery 3 - for realistic drums and implementation of my own kits
3) Albino 3 - for lead synths
4) Atmosphere - for lead tones and the strings (don't have enough disk space yet for Omnisphere)
5) FM8

My main vsti's:

1. Reason Rewired (Pianos, Strings, Drum Kits)
2. NI Elektrik Piano (Rhodes)
3. NI B4 II (Organs)
4. IK Miroslav Philharmonik Orchestra (Don't have it anymore, but there are beast orchestral sounds.)
5. Arturia CS-80V (Synth stuff)

Extras: Sytrus (from Fruity Loops) is a beast. Also, this random Cakewalk TTS-1 plugin that came with Sonar is surprisingly decent too.
