I don't even trust my ear that much. Hence I'm all ears for recommendations from experienced users, what do you like, especially in comparison to Reaper's stock plug-ins?

The most important things to consider are usually...
1. Workflow
2. Does it scale?
Paid, free, stock or otherwise, I've found it comes down to the above, even the best paid plugin becomes a problem very quickly if it is slow to use or becomes a problem using in large projects due to whatever reason. In many cases, that's what paid may provide, quicker workflow (including additional features), scale and so on.
How something like digital EQ sounds (not including analog emulations) is really at the bottom of the concern list in the real world and irrelevant proportionally, it's far more about how it hinders (or not) in larger projects aka "at scale'.
