Psy trance and progressive psy trance is my favourite genre - it's simply brilliant!
However, I like very little of what I hear - the vast majority of psy trance is pretentious, cheesy and soul-less - to a much greater extent than anything I have ever heard on ASOT etc.
Unfortunately, I've never been to a psy trance party that played anything other than the god awful i'm moaning about either, which has left me in no mans land in terms of clubbing. Still gutted about this!

I don't listen to a whole lot of Goa or Psy, but I do enjoy listening to the slower and more "chill" goa/psy.
I recently discovered some Khetzal stuff, and like it a lot.
Especially Khetzal - Listening Winds:

As far as modern psytrance goes one of my favorite producers is Prometheus. Both his albums are good.

Progressive Psy-Trance & non generic 144BPM full-on stuff is good, like Human Blue, Vibrasphere, John 00 Fleming, and mostly everything on Twisted Records

early stuff was awesome. it could be mixed with both trance and techno without people knowing the difference. now its 150bpm fullon cheese stuff with all the same crap going on. just like trance. and techno. and house always been like that. what the hell happened?
Full on's at 145bpm allmost exclusively :P
I got into psy with dj eccentric's psycho therapy. I got into progpsy ey and morning psy stuff for a while, and then got into more experimental full on, and then into oldschool goa stuff. Nowdays I've been listening to a lot of darkpsy/forest psy and a bit of goa as well.
However, I must say, full on or not, still love some xerox stuff. The stuff that was actually on the full on compilations doesn't seem too bad. It's just post 2001 really I guess.
I'm really not that impressed with suntrip records, I mean its quite good and everything but, the real amazing goa was artists like psychaos and the infinity project and doof. As well as tracks like astral projection-people can fly. Just haven't heard anything that comes close, maybe e-mantra -voyager II. The real psy is in the darkness, and some darkpsy really seems to be carrying that mood and magic these days.

This track was my favorite from the Opus Iridium compilation, especially the first 5 minutes! E-Mantra as an artist is also good, check his Telluric Waves, Trans Neptunian Objects etc. that were released these months.
Anyway the genres are good if you dig enough. 90s goa trance is still better than the new one but a lot of these new artists are also coming with great ideas (like E-Mantra).
