Synths I use:

Z3ta (for mostly leads and pads)
Pro-53 (mostly bass, seldomly leads)
FM-7 (for only bass)
V-Station (leads & bass)
Albino 3 (everything, seems to have all the sounds I can't get with z3ta)
Vanguard (sometimes bass, gates & arps, but MOSTLY I use vanguard to layer a synth from z3ta to thicken the sound)
Sytrus (the only synth I really know how to program, I can get a wide variety of sounds with this one but I particularly love the pads and crisp synths)
Toxic III (has a sharp overtone to everything, use sometimes for thos nasty leads)
Poizone (mostly arps)
Absynth 3 (for my weird intro, outro and sweep sounds)
Minimoog (love this little dude, nice sounds for bass)

ImpOSCar- The sounds this thing can produce is absolutely amazing.
Synth 1- One of the better (if not the best) free synths i've tried. loads of presets floating around the web for this as well....

VIRUSControl VSTi... I use it for, like, everything!

EDIT:

Well, that and Nexus.. so +1 for Nexus. Basically, I use Virus for the sounds I want to change/create.. and Nexus as filler.

Before Nexus there was Atmosphere/Trilogy... both are still good, but I definitely don't use them as often now that Nexus is available.

EDIT2:

The great thing about ROMplers (Nexus, Atmosphere, Trilogy are all sample based) is that there is very little CPU usage. I have 10+ instances of them on some of my tracks (layers mostly).
