Only one convolution entrant features in our line-up here, but that’s just a reflection of the reverb plugin marketplace, which is balanced overwhelmingly towards the algorithmic, rather than the quality of convolution reverbs in general.

Broadly speaking, convolution is the one to reach for when physical realism and dynamic sensitivity are the goals - putting an orchestra in a concert hall, say, or a singer on a stage - while algorithmic reverbs offer more adaptability and ‘spectacle’, making them more appropriate for dance, electronic, rock and pop production (although those aren’t hard and fast rules, of course).
