What are your top five devices at the moment?
As far as Reason stuff goes:
Synapse Audio - The Legend (all my bass sounds come from here)
Tonicmint - ChordLine (I always have fun just manually punching in notes and building custom progressions with this thing)
Tonicmint - AB Transpose (Always on all my MIDI tracks. I like shifting stuff around and experimenting in different keys when writing)
Reason Studios - Drum Sequencer (of course)
Robotic Bean - Sequences (surprised by how much I ended up liking this, after putting off buying it for so long. Mainly use it for the step sequencer)
As for VSTs
Spectrasonics - Omnisphere 2 (for pads and atmospheric stuff. Rarely use any of the factory sounds. I mostly use third party stuff or build patches from scratch)
Audio Damage - Quanta (my favorite granular synth)
Native Instruments - Kontakt (for my piano and string/orchestral libraries)
Korg - Mono/Poly (there's just something about how this thing sounds)
ValhallaDSP - Supermassive (favorite reverb for ambient stuff. And its free. Can't beat that)

While it certainly is doing its job to some extend, I at least recommend checking on varying flavors, like for example AUTO X Compressor or Lotus Compressor.
You could aswell check on SADIST inhabiting amongst its additional 16 modules 5 excellent compressors, 3 classic and 2 specialised. One specialised is TE200 Tape Machine, basically out of this world The second is TD750 Transistor Ducker, quite funky aswell. Then my two favourites out of the classic ones are TC 1030 Transistor Compressor + VCA745 Compressor. Very well working, round attack, smooth colouring. OpticAuto Compressor is more like a bus or mastering comp sounding good aswell.
After all I not only find all of the above adding colour but a new quality level in comparison.

This is more like what I currently experiment with a lot and also like very much. Hence I left out devices I like very much aswell yet haven´t come to really work with like Europa.
Dub Preamp
Filterchain X8187
American EQ A - C / British EQ A / rEQP-1A / reMEQ-5 / RE3Q (basically one developer, one style, one genre)
Sadist
Indstrlzr
Joker: AUTO X Compressor
Lot´s of Ekssperimental Sounds stuff here, simply easy to apply quality I find

- Arturia's Microfreak! I have tons of fun creating sequences in Reason, copy them to Microfreak's sequenzer, mangle the sequences with "spice" & "dice"-functions of the Microfreak, and then use the sequences to sequence f.e. Algoritm and Friction.
- Pattern Mutator: perfectly suited for crafting sequences that I can feed to the Microfreak
- Echobode, Echo & Polar etc.: the Microfreak has no on-board-effects. Aforementioned effect devices turn the little Freak into a true beast.

these are typically in most of my projects:
NNXT - for mapping usually transient samples like kick, snare, etc
Redrum - for percussion
Fabfilter Pro Q3 - my go-to for EQ, but I will also use the SSL eq
Slate Digital ANA 2 Synthesizer - been using this a lot to make melodies
Devious Machines Duck - my go to ducking and sidechaining stuff
then typically depending on the track I also use Valhalla, Beatmapper, Scream, etc, actually I use a bunch of RE's and VST's to be honest lol

Recently I've really upscaled my appreciation of Europa. That's an amazing synth, so deep but also intuitive & fast to work with
Runciter by u-He. The one filter to rule them all
Desmodus is an insanely fun reverb, or "tail generator" or whatever it is. Start twisting those dials and within seconds you've died & gone to freaky sound design heaven
And Inspiral & Sequences are my favourite players by far

Ohhh yeah of course, I forgot those REs had disappeared
149 Euros is pretty expensive for a filter plugin, but I'd still recommend checking it out (or waiting for a sale). It's so good. Does all the standard filter duties, but can also get super aggressive and fat. And it's really well designed, I love the way you can run HP/LP/BP in parallel, and the envelope follower is excellent

HexaTone is becoming my favorite Re and I'm still in trial mode. This monster is such an amazing synth or rather tone generator. I can't stop playing with it.
