I mainly use Nexus 2.2 / NI Massive / Z3TA+ / Trilian
(For drums, I get samples from here and there and apply it to battery3)

What kind of VSTis do you guys use or suggest?
Let's share some nice ones :)

Native Instrument Komplete...  Kontakt 5 + all kinds of Libraries and own samples, Massive, Reaktor, FM8, Absynth, battery 3 + own made kits, Guitar Rig all FXs

Spectrasonics all softwares

Nomad Factory all plugins.

Sometimes I use Cakewalk synths that are great too. That's what I basically use most.

EWQL the works, Play
KOMPLETE 8 Ultimate
Superior Drummer (Toontrack)
Yellow Tools Independence 3
nsKit 7 samples drums/percussion
DIM PRO, Rapture & z3ta +2
IK multimedia - the works
Truepianos 
That's about a Terabytbe of samples or more and the various engines that play them 
Too many choices

I know others who dwarf my collection and I'll thank them in advance for making me look modest in my GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) suffering.
