I really fell in love with my (very underrated) Boss RE-20.
Delay with 'verb - love it.

Do this over. Choices should be:
Spring
Room
Hall
Plate
Reverb + Delay
Delay
Dry
And it depends on the application. I usually Jazz with room, Rock with hall, play live with delay, and really love Delay + Reverb for Metal, but often just use the spring in the amp.

I prefer a cavernous reverb.
In lieu of that, I choose plate.

My POD has a good stereo digital verb with echorec-style modulation which I adore. I like delay and verb combined for max lushness.
for distortion I put on the bare minimum of time mod. Maybe a smidge of room to juice up the signal a bit.

My #1 is Room. An actual room. Short of that, I'll take a convolution of a good room, and last I'll settle for a good digital simulation of a room.

I always wanted to test them . . . but there is not an Eventide importer on this side of the world.

I can't justify myself dishing out the cash for such a subtle effect, and I think delay can easily be a bit too much or too little of an effect, so I run the amp dry. But I think hall reverb sounds the best.

Room. Like Securb said... a nice room is the best.

I am equal opportunity. Spring is awesome for adding a little air to your tone, plate is great for the VH tone and room/hall is perfect for gigantic cavernous reverbs. Those last two are decidedly "effects" though, so my number one choice is a spring tank.

I think plate sounds the nicest, though on most devices I'm prone to using hall more. Then, I fatten it up with some delay and get those huge sounding ambient tones.
I will say that my least favourite is spring. It sounds good as an 'effect' (if I'm going for an old blues or country sound) but I don't like the tone of it as a 'natural' or thickening element.

Plate is great as a tone-shaping tool because it doesn't impart a "dimension" to the sound. You can use it and also add some room/ambience afterwards to mesh the guitar with the other instruments of the mix.
I don't like spring. Too boingy, sounds like a gimmick.
