I've finally made the jump from amp + pedals to only using fully integrated systems (Prophesy and PODxt-Pro for now, Axe-Fx in the near future), so for me, pedals I want / need? None.
As much as I've created a lot of great tones by combining different overdrive pedals (and noise gates) with different amps, I absolutely hate having more cables / pedals / adapters around than what is really necessary. It's a real pain (IMO) heading to practice or a gig, and having to set your cab down, then set your head on your cab, then bring in your pedalboard, plug everything in to power, hook up all your pedals appropriately with your amp... etc, etc, let alone having to cart all that junk around. It's something I really no longer have the patience for.
Now, I just have cab / rack / guitar, and nothing else, and I haven't been happier in a long time. Being able to carry my entire rig from my car to wherever it's going in 1 trip: priceless.
