"Normally"...you would put your reverb on an Aux channel (or as you call them, FX track)...and then you send your individual track signals to the Aux. You adjust how much send signal per track, and that creates your reverb level balance between the tracks you send to it. The pre-delay, the decay and all reverb parameters would be the same for all those tracks...only the amount of reverb signal would vary based on what you send to the Aux.
If you want a different reverb feel on some of the tracks, you set up a second Aux with that other reverb, and send to it what you want.
A DAW makes it easy to take a reverb, and individually apply it to 30 tracks, and then tweak each as desired...but it's not the usual approach to have that many different reverb configurations on that many tracks.
It works OK to set up like 3 of the same flavor reverb on 3 Aux channels, but with slightly different pre-delay and decay times for each...and then choose which tracks to send to which of the 3 setups.
I'll do short/med/long (you decide what the times are)...and like if I have an uptempo rhythm guitar track, I would send it to the short reverb setup, and I might only send low amount of signal, so that on the rhythm guitar, the reverb is just a mild shadow, and it's short.
On something like a lead guitar, I might go for the long reverb setup, and the level would be much higher, so that you really hear a nice lush reverb, and the long decay works well with a lead guitar track.
That's just one example and one approach.
With reverbs...like guitar distortion...find something you like, then dial it down to only 3/4 of what you had...especially if you plan on having a variety of reverbs on various tracks. It's easy to get addicted to a lush reverb on one track, and then you keep going and all of a sudden your mix has turned to cream chowder soup.
