All IMHO, YMMV etc :)
Sonalksis Dynamic EQ or regular? The few times I've actually the plug for something mastering related, it was their dynamic EQ, even if not using the dynamic feature. Don't know enough about what's under the hood to know how different they really are, but it worked just fine. It sure sounded better than the other more common stuff on the system. PSP has some good stuff too, but I don't think I've used neon, at least not recently, and not in mastering.

Still, Algorithmix are the ones to beat for mastering if you want to stay in the box. As an addendum, Sonic EQ is also available as a VST plug now, and it's clean in a mastering context too. I haven't actually tried the VST version, but I have no reason to think it won't sound just as good as the native.
