What Is The Best SoftSampler for a G4/Cubase5?

[i-clan]

I'm asking for afriend who is about to get a month holiday from the webdesign company he works for, and buy a G4. He uses Cubase5 already so he would i imagine, like to stay on that platform.
Best Cubase integrated Sampler???
Reason?
Unity?
Other?
i think reason is a good thing, but am looking for an alternative to it for him, just a dedicated softsampler that is mega powerful.
Reactor?
Gigasampler?
thanx

Steinberg(makers of Cubase) is about to release a new VST software sampler any time now: the Halion. It's the answer from Steinberg to the Emagic EXS24 softsampler. Check their website for more info: http://www.steinberg.net/infocenter/discoveries/products/halion.phtml?sid=01212628
Probably the best choice for an integrated sampler fro Cubase. Specs are nice!

I am not sure if its free but check it. its brand new

it is creamware's first VST device (they usually make stuff for their DSP cards)
