Is there any consensus on when to use each of these reverbs for best results? And if there are any effects such as delay, that sound better with one than with another? Thanks.

None of them is "better". They are different with different applications.

They are different flavors of spice. It's like asking if rosemary, basil or thyme are "better" than one another. Nope, it depends on what you're cooking.

You can get some general cue from their base styles, but they can also all be set up to overlap so well as to be different flavors of interchangeable.
Let's say starting as in their basic forms' -before getting into crossing them over to each other-
Halls and 'Rooms begin as real spaces (and their mimics). Think envelopes anywhere from smooth to bumpy.
Chambers and plates began as physical' mimicking 'space. Generally smoother envelopes. Lexi describes their 'chambers as being 'lowest color', few in dimensional cues.
Then add a little predelay, the right size (density and length, also shape) and plate/chambers look like some rooms, big or small.
I'd suppose it would be safe to say shapes, envelopes, reflection and echo patterns, predelay define more (or as much?) than the base style.
 
plates can sound very good on snares

halls can sound very good on guitar

bank 2, preset 3.




Everytime. Best reverb ever. Load it up and you're stuff will sound great!
 
I think plates are the most often used but I could be wrong. I tend to like to like room and plates though never to over do any of it :).
 
Um,

hall if you want it to sound like your instrument is in a hall,
room if you want it to sound like your instrument is in a room, and
plate if you want it to sound like your instrument is in a ...


oh, nevermind.
