Well, I think these REs are really good or unique, so even with the VST integration, it is good to have it.

1. Leveler (Selig): I think, it is the best dynamic lever. I wish having it in AU format
2. Polar : Specially now with delay compensation.
3. Antidote: Even now that you can have all VST synths, it is good to have it. But in a discount price.
4. GQ-7 or RP-EQ: Best EQs Reson integration.
5. Synchronous: in discount

Any of them :)

If they don't exist in VST format, then yes.

If they do exist in VST format, I still prefer the better integrated, easier to install RE.

Because it isn't really a device that fits automatic delay compensation. Its delay is HUGE compared to the few samples of latency - which is exactly which causes phase issues, the main problem compensation is meant to fix - that compessors and other more typical FX devices may have. Polar is pitch-shifting delay at heart. Best to approach it that way.

I don't really use VST's so I will always buy RE's over VST's where possible. I'll certainly be exploring some of the VST's out there now Reason supports them. But there are plenty of RE's on my radar I'll pick up ASAP (in the next sale, when I've actually got some money in my pocket! :( )

1. LectricPanda Fritz
2. LectricPanda Nostromo
3. Blamsoft VK-2
4. e-intruments StringWERK
5. Reveal ReSpire (when it's working & has better CV)

Hmm, guess I'd have to discount the ones that are available in VST? If so, then:

1. Expanse Hyperwave Synthesizer
2. JP Steerpike BBD Delay

The other ones I like use a lot available as VSTs/AUs, and in that format I could use them in Logic as well as in Reason, so I wouldn't buy them as REs. I'd still buy them, though! Stuff like PolySix, reDominator, Softube FET compressor, The Legend, etc.
