My vote is for Rosegarden Thorn (the new release) and LinuxSampler,
which uses the Gigasampler format.

You might also want to check this out:

I use this setup (with my own mods) for writing orchestral music. I
also use Lilypond for my scores, rather than a GUI score editor
(although many export to Lilypond). I prefer to keep the MIDI
rendering and the notation separate, since in many cases my MIDI
version does not always correspond directly to the notation (I may
double up samples, use CCs, overlap notes, etc), and especially in
Rosegarden, it will mess up the score.
