Sylenth is too limited to tweak the fuck out of. The reason that its so popular is because, despite its lack of depth (i.e., parameters, mod sources/targets), it has a huge sweet spot. You almost have to work to make it sound bad. And, yeah, that makes it popular with beginners, but mostly because it has a large selection of usable presets and there are countless third-party preset banks for it.
Why do you all assumed he wants a beginner synth? He asked which soft synths produces the highest quality in terms of sound.

Nobody assumed that the OP wants a beginner synth. My comment was in response to the guy before me who tried (failed) to make the condescending remark that Sylenth is a beginner synth. And, yes, it's very popular with newbs because of its presets (which the OP did ask about), but that doesn't make it a beginner's synth.

Zebra?
IDK about that. Great synth, certainly, but not great presets IMO, especially not for what the OP is looking for (i.e., "acid sounds, square bass, synth leads, pads etc."). YMMV, I guess.
