my tastes went to
EG
- Peaks (it does a lot and is great to work with, shapes are a bit different than most EG).
- Delta V (fully featured, with VCA and Slew)
- FEG (price, fast, loopable, inverted output)
good value :
- Ataxia (but it's pink)
VCA
- Tallin of XAOC for how many differents "colors" it can bring and the 2 curves av. on each section.
