I personally like Pete Tong's announcing. He's always got his facts straight (an extreme rarity for MC's these days) and stays pretty much out the way during a set. The only time I've heard him mess up was when he couldn't quite figure out how to pronounce "Columbiahalle" in the PvD Columbiahalle essential mix, but hey, he doesn't speak German, he tried his best. On the other hand, some of the Radio 1 commercials can get really annoying.
I also like The Orgasmatron radio commercials during the Nu-Nrg sets. Very well Timed.
Also the guy who broadcasted the PvD - Live at Cream in Ibiza mix did pretty good job as well
For the most part tho I think the only real announcing/MCing should be done at the beginnings and the ends of sets, unless they are done by the dj, because more often than not they ruin the flow. The only cool announcing I've heard live midset was when I saw Carl Cox and he'd pick up the mic and say some cool shit that got the crowd going even more.
