Adobe Audition
Foobar 2000
Superior Drummer 2.0
Har-Bal
Ozone
GlissEQ
Jamstix used to be on my list, it's on my blacklist at the moment due to unresolved technical difficulties with its license key.
Kontakt 2 is on probation, expecting Kontakt 3 this week. Not yet sure if it'll make the "favorite" list.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some of their favorite software so I can get a better idea of where to go from here. What style of music do you typically write?

Good question, because it made me think and take inventory - mostly pop/rock with vox and real guitars/bass guitars/hand percussion:
80+% of my usage covered by:
Sonar 8 PE (and its plug-ins)
EZ Drummer
B4 II
Dimension Pro (also with Proteus Pak)
Battery 3
[Though it doesn't usually get in the final mix, I'll use TTS to sketch things out quickly at times]
Less, but appreciable use of: Jamstix 2 and Melodyne; Slicey Drummer and SD-1 are occasionally useful also.
I really like but am not using much at this point: Kontakt 3 and Garritan J&BB
(I still use Synth Hardware with the vast majority covered by: Motif ES7 and Fantom XR with 4 SRX boards)
The RT Project i7, 16 gB RAM, 4 X 1.5 - 3 Tb HDs; Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 audio/MIDI interface;Sonar Platinum; Komplete Ult 10; Superior Drummer 2; Various synths, guitars, basses, ukes, etc.

OK I may be out of line here but Reason 4 is good if you can afford it. Just getting it and P5 to ReWire together is a lot of fun. Reason is good fun to use, all those cables... hehe I also use the Arturia Vintage pack. They misbehave a little bit when you use them natively on Vista but work like a dream as VSTs with P5 and Sonar. Whilst I enjoy playing around with z3ta, Dimension Pro, Rapture and all those modern-day synths, it's often easier - for someone who grew up with a Pro-One and Juno 60 - to use classics synths in the virtual world. I'll still turn to the MiniMoog V if I need a meaty bass . And the Moog Modular - hours of fun  (it's them cables again )
