For recording I have a choice of three outboard real spring reverbs:
(1) Frontline desktop unit (80s vintage);
(2) DIY Stage Center;
(3) DIY 6G15.
*I'm calling it a copy rather than a clone so as not to upset @ICBM.
More generally, I prefer a dry sound (with or without some drive) and only use effects such as spring reverb, trem, delay when I want them to stand out and be a prominent part of the sound. I'm not into ambient stuff and always-on effects. However no one should have to care what I'm up to in the privacy of my bedroom (study, actually) ...
although I do like a modulated hall also
a sprinkle of shimmer in small doses occasionally

For precise rhythm riffs etc into a dirty amp a small room heightens the drama without getting in the way. Anything else muddies the transients.
That’s been my approach through four generations of FX. My current device is an AxeFX. I haven’t looked at the settings in years, but expect they are early reflections at 40ms, main reverb from 110 or 120ms, and level below 10%.
It's either that or the sound of a Belton Brick style reverb on the edge of oscillation.
