I've been really thinking about getting the EW QL composer's pack, any one have good experience with it? I'd be running it on a Macbook Pro with 8gb ram 2.3ghz and through either firewire 800 or eSATA.

For VSTs, this website is quite useful to find information: http://www.kvraudio.com/

I've used several of the PLAY engine and NI engine EWQL plugs on a much less beefy system with no problem. Stormdrum is really cool, as are RA and Gypsy. Ministry of Rock is pretty good although it doesn't offer a lot in the way of tone control. I usually opt for a clean signal run though Guitar Rig to get around that problem. The only thing I could say against it is that the built in convolution verb is a resource hog, but it does sound pretty natural. I could never really use it, but you might be able to on your system.

There are a lot of the individual samplepacks that I never touched, so I can't say whether or not they're worth it. I guess it depends on what you want to do, but I have no complaints with RA, Stormdrum, Gypsy, or Ministry of Rock. All good value for money, especially if you manage to catch one of the frequent sales that soundsonline.com has. A couple of years ago I snagged three of 'em for $500 with shipping, when they usually retail for $300-$600 each.
