There's actually 2. Basic and pro. The third option includes both. The pro is nice, but expensive. The basic is perfectly adequate for most purposes. (but try the demo of both. Depending on what you want, you may need the adjustments of the pro. HOWEVER, Reverberate 2 has a bunch of fusion verbs with far more adjustments than Seventh Heaven pro, which may suit for some instances. The eq vs. decay functions are especially useful when you want to alter specific characteristics in reverb tails, e.g. how prominent reed 2k reflections are in party-horns, etc.).
It really depends on which samples you are using and what you want to achieve.
With Rotterdam dry. I use a mixture of Seventh Heaven basic and Reverberate 2.
R2 gets used individually, per division, on the main front speakers, mainly for ER and space-location generation. These are summed to an instance of 7H to generate the front-side speaker response.(the main front reverb signal)
The summed signal, minus the chamades, is sent to another 7H instance for the rears. The chamades get sent to a separate R2 instance for the rear signal, which is summed to the rear 7H output.
(Before the questions start, chamades tend NOT to hit side walls on their journey down a building, therefore they exhibit distinct bounces from the back wall to the front one. Sort of like a ping-pong echo/stereo effect. It's better to model this separately, if possible.)
Probably TMI, but hopefully helpful.
