Hmmm...well let me predict what kind of answers you may get. The Pacifica and Great River pres are both stand out products. The Pacifica sounds good on anything you throw at it, but is particularly yummy on vocals. The Great River sounds good on anything you throw at it, but is particularly yummy on electric guitars. I own the Great River and I record tons of electric guitars and I can personally vouch for its utility on guitars (and direct bass). I have no experience with the Pacifica, but I have placed it at the top of my short list of future purchases. I don't see how you could go wrong with either one, frankly. Good luck.

Best Regards,

Mike.
