for FX workhorses - you cant go wrong with WAVES

for synths: here are my faves (in no particular order), and their standout features

Native Instruments Pro-53
the re-vamped version of the Pro52, now comes with a highpass filter as well, and a completely reworked synthesis engine.. quality is up a whole lot. New Presets have been made as well, and many are actually usable! (backward compatibility with pro52 presets included)

- more will be edited in later, i have to go

Does waves have a descent delay? I cant find it.

Hmm, VSti

1. Absynth (this baby rox, very versatile, good sounding)
2. FM7
3. Reaktor (when handled right)
4. Pro 52/53 (can't really compare them, they sound differently)
5. Virsyn Tera
6. Waldorf Attack (great for drums)

There I really stop my ranking, there are other good ones, but in no particular order : Lounge lizard, Muon Tau Pro, Reason's Subtractor and Maelstr�m, reFx slayer...

as for effects, the whole Waves package of course
But for delays, I'd say the best one is PSP Lexicon 42
For reverb, the Timeworks Reverb plugins are killer (both quality and cpu hogging , especially ReverbX. Silverspike reverb-it is nice also.

Overall mastering, Waves again, or izotope Ozone.
