Hmmm,
That's a tough one, my needs are pretty limited to EQ and dynamics, I
don't use a lot of effects and I am next to illiterate about synthesis of
any kind so the list will be short.
I'll have to admit to being a huge consumer/fan of the commercial linuxDSP
(now OverToneDSP) products but since: (a) The developer no longer supports
LV2 and (b) Seemingly he is quickly distancing himself from Linux support
even on the VST platform I guess talking about them is really not
beneficial in any forward-looking sense which is very unfortunate.
My 'desert island' list:
LADSPA:
Steve Harris' - Fast Lookahead Limiter, Barry's Satan Maximizer
(indispensible!)
CAPS - Plate Reverb
Fons Adriaensen's - Stereo Reverb
LV2:
Robin Gareus' - X42 Plugins set especially the FIL EQ LV2 version
Robin Gareus' - SetBfree Hammond B3 Emulation - Absolutely killer!
Calf Plugins - Vintage Delay, Limiter, Rotary Speaker, Bass Enhancer,
Stereo Tools, Exciter, Saturator
falkTX - Carla Plugin Host for hosting SFZ, GIG and SF2 libraries
DISTRHO - TAL Dub, Reverbs and NoiseMaker, MVerb Reverb
Damien Zammit - GEQ31
Guitarix Team - VibroChump amp modeler, some good reverbs, delays,
tremolo's and fuzzes
I'm sure many would call this list inadequate but those are my go-to's.

That said if you have your finger on the pulse of Linux Audio
development
then Ardour and a hand-picked assortment of steadily-improving FLOSS
plugins can also get you there if you prefer the scenic route.
My finger is not nearly as heavily on the pulse of Linux Audio development
as are those of so many of the members of the Linux-Audio-Users list and
community that I admire. Would you care to list a few of your favorite LV2
plugins, of the many fine plugins and collections available? :-)
