what your best buy the last year.
 i love the izotope bundle i got, and IK 99 bucks was a no brainer
with these 2 bundles i have most of the basics
and have not had to deal with PC{is there a bundle for those}??
any way besides wave's since there are a few issues with the PC versions\
what is you go to plug in for.
single track use__?ozone alloy
master and buss use___?milti band cakwalk version
i would base this choice on a drum  tracks and bass tracks
 chain setups welcome

My best buy's are my waves bundles...

Kramer TTT
CLA Classic Comps
JJP Analogue Legends
Renaissance Maxx

I bought API and the V-Series to round out my SSL (which I love by the way but not new this year).
I also bought the CLA/JJP sig series but just DL'd them this weekend and haven't played with them yet.

no issues with wave's on PC iv been thinkin about there plugs and there are 3 i like
just dont no bridge trouble , im happy my x1 has been running great, x2 kills my rig at the moment not due to a plug, but iv read wave's on PC have had conflicts with other plugs

Laugh if you must, but I find value in EZMix--which is kind of a poor man's Alloy.  (Which I also have).

Bought absolutely loads last year.
 
Favourite and totally overused is SoundToys. Wanted an delay / echo plug in. Got a lot more!

Naah!
As a matter of fact they work awesome on Windows 7 64 bit. X1 and X2 
Back in XP with version 5 and 6 of Waves I had some issues. But since W7 and version 8 and 9 of Waves, all is well.   
I have loads of IK stuff. Out of all my plug-ins THOSE seem to cause them most problems.

I bought the JJP Legends/CLA Classic Comp as a bundle from Audiodeluxe. Got what i thought was a great deal during the end of the year sale. I also bundled X-2 upgrade and Ozone 5.
Ive never had any trouble with a single Waves plug on X-1 or X-2 on windows 7 64bit.

Not sure if it is my best or worst buy, but I took the plunge on the Ozone 5 + Sonar X2 for $300: Ozone I just LOVE (I had Ozone 3 in the past), but X2 I can't deal with, so I basically paid $300 for ozone (plus the right to a cheaper upgrade to X3). I do LOVE O5, so probably still my favorite software buy of 2012.

i have none  of these choices but ozone glad i asked my google page is on spead dial
 i canr say that alloy is goos since i feel like im cheating every track i use it on.,
i click perfection scary how good it can be on the fly
 also IK have a cheap version of those waves and those white and black comp are on very song iv done this year 20 days into it lol

ya x2 just bombed  in a session, thank got i switched to x1 before anyone saw, vvocal was where i was wrong forgot the bounce rule , sonar x2 needs a big flashing autosave light with a link to TEc support
O5 gets a +10 for 2012 here too
