For years I've been using Cakewalk Studio Instruments Bass Guitar. I also remember Spectrasonics had Trillian which was good too.

Yea Trillian is real nice. I use Broomstick Bass quite a bit too. It has some nice sounds for a decent price.

Never heard of that one. Are there a lot of options to tweak?
Omnisphere has decent basses in there but you got to tweak it a bit. Regarding subs, Fabfilter's oscillator (FF One) sounds good when you mess with it, but it requires even more tweaks than Omni's. Haven't tried Trillian yet, nor Serum, but I would like to dabble Serum a bit it seems like a pretty amazing synth.
Regarding other basses, Scarbee Rickenbacker, as Sucio said, is also great for some palm mutes and I also use it whenever i'm in the mood to just play guitar and destroy the shit out of my strings xD. The Scarbee MM-Bass Amped is also nice sounding and has 4 main presets depending on the style of bass you want. I've also read good reviews on ISW's Shreddage Bass but haven't yet had the chance to try it out.

Yeah..I'm not sure why these days VSTs still drain resources...
Serum does that on some of their sounds....Like pretty badly, too. If I really liked the sound, I ended up bouncing JUST the instrument when I was done and then importing the audio.

I use Omnisphere, Massive, and Monark for basslines. Generally, it requires some type of sound design though. I don't really use the presets. So if you're into sound design I would get Omnisphere (it's pricey so if you're on a budget Massive is great too). Basic knowledge of synthesis and you can build any bass you imagine.
I know that feeling very well

Trillian is the best of the best.
If you still on 32-bit DAW, than Analog Warfare 3 sounds really good. (It's free, I still need to sample all the bass-sounds out of this plugin for future use)

I use UJAM's... mostly the Royal. I get a decent sound without moving a single knob. But my basses ain't great I think. It's more of a shortcut. I had my eyes on IK multimedia Modo Bass for quite a long time now... And Toontrack is about to release EZBass which looks really nice on the videos so far... Not strictly hip-hop though but I like'em "real" basses in my beats...
Lol I just caught this 2G, I would have to spend a weekend just messing with it and not doing a single beat and I still wouldn't have it down... its nice as shit, but it has TOO much... thats why I fall back onto 808 studio, really easy for just bass alone, but serums is soo much more man... I also like how you can get serum packs here and there, and if ya find any that are handy, send me a link!
I just wish serum had less Dubstep crap in it... it made me try my hand at dubstep haha.. turned out pretty decent, but not really my gig
