G2verb is very good, but you have to invest some time in acquiring a
feel for what are sensible values to achieve whatever type of sound
you're looking for.

Nama is what I use for all the work I do, so does Julien Claassen who
has shared much of his work with this list. Nama has a mastering chain
set up using many of the plugins mentioned in this thread and offers all
one needs for mastering, at least to my mind. I don't think it makes
much sense to have an overly elaborate mastering chain in the first
place. YMMV
