Line 6 just came out with a new Tonecore reverb pedal. It's got some dopey name like Verbzilla. It sounds very good. You can hear clips and see a video on it on www.line6.com

yes, they are. and for good reason.
Answer:
I've heard the good things about the Line 6 also. I like the DigiTech X-series verb, it has a decent sound. The EHX is pretty cool, it's got that nice "flerb" mode.
Answer:
i would also definitely check out the Danelectro Spring King.
it's built to behave like a spring reverb, but in a pedal form.

I've heard a couple bands do it with a real reverb as a studio effect. Nobody you'll ever hear on the radio, but when used right it can sound cool.

my crate had real spring reverb in it, and bumping it was obnoxious or when I started shaking the stage...

Yeah, it's annoying when spings rattle when you don't want them too... I wish I had a sound clip so I could demonstrate how it's useful, but it was on a friend's CD and I don't know the name of the band.

the dropped/kicked spring sound is definitely a leftover from the era in which spring reverb truly was king. Reverb abuse was definitely more prominent in mainstream styles of music at the height of surf music in the early/mid 1960s. Personally, I love giving my Acoustic 150 a swift topside smash to get that warm, huge reverb echo.

It can be. Check out "Shotgun" by Jr. Walker and the Alll Stars. The opening sound is like a shotgun blast simulated by dropping the amp about and inch so the spring reverb is moved.
