When I say Sleeper, I mean a VST that is not commonly talked about. Some examples NOT to use would be Nexus, Z3ta+, Blue, Albino, Vanguard, Gladiator, Korg Legacy, etc.
My sleeper:
I personally love "Octopus" from Linplug. It's kind of expensive ($129) as an "uncommon" VST but it produces some quality sounds. If you have some extra cash and are looking for a good sequencing VST then check this puppy out. It is fantastic for atmospheric effects.
Its a free VSTi that has more useful sounds than multi hundred dollar Vsti's.
Google : Crystal VSTi. Enjoy.

That's all you really need to know about Sleeper VSTs.

The generic sound is hyperly overused though.

For Logic users: ES2. Highly capable, and sounds fantastic. 3 OSCS, dual LFO, FX chain, analog "mode", unison, tons of waveforms, flexible mod matrix, and the oft-unused vector mode.
Unfortunately, you can only get it with Logic.

Golden ASET.
It's basically a rompler with a very simple subtractive synth built in. But you can make some really nice, spacey pads with it.

Anything from Ugo.
And I want to say Reaktor, because even though the name is well-known, most people really have no clue how to use it.
