Default Reverb Plugins

Hey, I've been looking into Reverb plugins. Right now I have the ones that came with PT:

-AIRNon-LinearReverb
-AIRReverb
-AIRSpringReverb
-Black Spring
-DVerb
-Studio Reverb

And the UAD EMT 140, which came with my Apollo DUO.

How many different reverb plugins do you guys use on a given mix, in general?

I'm looking for some suggestions on Reverb plugins, based on what I'd need most vs what I already have. I don't have alot of cash to drop, so definitely reverbs that are under $100.

I was reading about some of the ValhallaDSP 'verbs are good, and only $50/ea. Also, Waves H-Reverb is on sale for $49.

Thanks,
-Adam

Since I already have the EMT 140 Plate Reverb, would going for the Valhalla Room plug be the way to go?

- TAL-Reverb-2 is free and pretty nice.
- Valhalla VintageVerb is inexpensive and good.
- Sir2 convolution reverb is also free and good if you find any good impulses.
(It needs to be hosted in BlueCat Patchwork since it's VST only).

Default Re: Reverb Plugins

The ones I use the most are the Liquidsonics Reverberate and Valhalla. Reverberate is an IR reverb that now has FIR capability. I tend to use the Bricasti FIRs quite a bit. They are a bit more CPU intensive, but are extremely good. I also like the Valhalla reverbs. Room gets the most use, but I sometimes use the Vintage Verb.

The Liquidsonics is a bit more at $125, but it is extremely impressive and does offer a different sound than algorithmic verbs. But you can't go wrong with the Valhalla stuff either.

Is the difference between Valhalla Vintage and Room that the Vintage is a mix of room, plate and other verbs while the Room is strictly room verbs?

I noticed that free TAL verb while I was initially searching around, definitely swiping that one up.

I was checking out Liquidsonics Reverbgate. There is a free LE version, but it says that it doesn't have the the "modulation or true stereo capabilities."

Thanks

The Waves H-Reverb is going for $49US right now; even cheaper at Audio Deluxe $40.98 when logged in. Normally $349US.

edit for additional:
other reverbs I like and use:
Eventide UltraReverb - back up to full price after a ridiculous sale
Reverberate 2 - the fusion ir setup is lush but needs less of a send level than the normal ir's
Waves Abbey Road Plates - killer on drums and piano
