Stephen,
For example, the Freiberg IR in HW's default library is called Church02. It's one mic pair in one position, ORTF at 5 meters. Nothing wrong with using that, especially if you mix down everything into one stereo reverb!
If you license the Freiberg IR set from SP, you get 24 different IRs for the building, with several microphone types, placed at 5, 7, and 13 meters distance, at two different widths between mic pairs. [Edit: No, that was two distances between source stereo pairs.]
I use the 13m IRs for signals coming out of my rear speakers, and a mix of 5 and 7m for my front speakers. Only on dry or semidry samplesets, of course.
I have reverb set up on each stereo output (primary bus) with wet and dry mixed in the same stereo output, making a "wet front" perspective.
Then each of those also routes the original (dry) signal to one of several reverb buses (intermediate buses) that output wet only to a pair of speakers positioned opposite in the room (front to rear or rear to front), to make a "surround" perspective. It doesn't play any audible amount of the original (dry) sound because I route it at level -24 dB to suppress it, compensating by raising the wet level.
For organs that are already wet enough, I slide the wetness scalar to 0 and only hear the samples as shipped. This costs no CPU overhead.
