Valhalla Room is considered to be one of the best sounding reverbs by reputable magazines (SOS etc.) and general forum feedback.
I own Room and Eventide Ultrareverb which is very good- I prefer Room however, and Room id $50. Coupled with UberMod (which I just bought) you pretty much have everything covered!
FYI- Valhalla Room has a lot of user generated patches (check over at KVR on the Valhalla forum) and don't be fooled with the name 'Room', it is capable of (and in my opinion better at) special effects like EVentite Blackhole (although if you are really in to Reverb as an effect, Valhalla Shimmer is worth a look)
One general comment- a good reverb makes the sound, it can turn a simple patch in to a massive pad, a simple acoustic guitar chord in to a massive soundscape- don't just stick it on stuff for realist reverberation in the mix! A bad reverb can mage any good sound thin, tinny and washed out....
