Japa is a good choice. You can also try out the new feature in the
upcoming plugin frequency analysis feature in Ardour 3. 3.0 is not
stable yet, but this feature should work good enough for you to choose
your plugins.

The feature is available in the plugin editor window and shows both
intensity and phase response of the plugin. The analysis analyses the
plugin by both running impulses through it and by comparing the actual
input and output of the plugin in use. For the latter you need some
real audio feeding through the plugin (put some audio on the track and
start the transport).

(note. do not try to open old sessions with 3.0! it doesn't work yet
and could screw up your session)
