I think that for basses Spectrasonics' Trilogy should be a very good choice.
For pads there's a lot of choices I think. Again Spectrasonics comes to
mind, Athmosphere is basically designed to suit your pad needs, but IMO the
engine is a bit lame (most likely to be updated some day...).
Personally, I like Absynth a lot and also FM7 is doing a great job - both at
an amazingly low CPU expense.
