Depends on the genre.

If I want to make Trance, House, Techno, or something in that range, I use software synths like the ES2 or EVL DigiDrum.

I use samples for D&B/Jungle, Hip-Hop, or anything where I want to superimpose a fast beat over a beat at half-speed.

And for Symphonic and Ambient stuff, I use SoundFonts.
