Paul,
The reason I asked is not one reverb will cover all of the tasks.
If you have a Lexicon, there will always be that vocal that just doesn't blend well with it. So than you are going to have to find something to balance it with.
In my place alone I have something like 10 different reverbs that are devoted to vocals alone(not too mention the delays and modulation effect units).
You will always find a voice that just doesn't sit right(in the mix) with a particular sound and you need a solution.
For longer hall sounds(and rooms) a Quantec is excellent. It wouldn't be my only reverb though. Sometimes an AMS RMX 16 works better(especially with female vocalists). I love the old Eventide 2016 on vocals(I am acquiring soon the Princeton Digital version and will post some comments). For plate emulations I love the Dynacord DRP20,R880 and the Sony R7(you have to tweak it though). All of these reverbs blend well with a Lexicon 480L (usually darker and more synthethic sounding).
The more modern stuff like the KSP-8,Orville,M6000 and 960L have their places. But its something about the older algo's that work better for vocals to my ears(and also the color of conversion).
My favorite reverb for a vocal though would be the EMT 250. But if you can afford that than you wouldn't be asking.
