I don't think enough folks around here have enough experience with a wide variety of products to give you meaningful feedback? I mean, all I can tell you is what I've decided to buy for myself based on the same youtube viewing you can do. I can suggest stuff to check out:I would truly love an endorsement of peoples’ favorite sample based instruments.
Strings, horns, drums, percussion and pianos.
I’m kind of picky in this department in the past. No familiarity with modern products.
Are there a technical standards ie 44.1k@16bits?
Horns: Native Instruments Session Horns Pro; East/West pop horns; Big Fish Vintage horns
Strings/orchestra: Vienna; Spitfire Audio
Drums -- a million options
pianos -- a million options
Given how long ago "in the past" is for you on this front, you need to recognize that modern sample libraries are WIIIIIIIIIIILDY different than anything from like pre-2010 or so. Its like someone coming here and saying "hey guys, in the past I never really jived that well with using an ART SGX or Alesis Quadraverb GT as a direct solution -- they said they had cab simulations, but I didn't really like them, or the distortions, included in the box. I'm pretty picky -- what kind of digital solution should I be looking at?"
Even the stock Logic library is going to be miiiiiles ahead of anything you've used, with multiple articulations for each instrument/section, etc.
