I'm using two modified BSS FDS360.
There might be a couple of points against these: Firstly they are not being made anymore so s/h is the only option.
Secondly, you would need to at least swap out the op amps to make them really good.
On the other hand they offer 360deg phase adjustment on all bands, decent limiters, etc.
Best of all the xover frequencies are set by plug in cards which carry the appropriate capacitors and resistors and all the values are public on the net. This means that with a soldering iron and a bunch of more or less cheap components you can make up the frequencies and slopes best suited to your system.
If you want to go digital the Behringer is the cheapest option by far but while the convertors are actually quite good the analog circuitry surrounding them is quite, quite poor indeed!
Modification are possible but fairly complex and therefore not cheap.
I've got no idea about the quality of the algorithms used in the DSP.
XTA and Quested make high-quality digital ones but these are far from cheap!
