Hi there! Can you recommend me some great choir/vocal libraries with maybe a phrasebuilder or/and other control(s) that gives flexibility in shaping the sound to the desired way of use?

What's your budget? The "great" ones ain't cheap!
EastWest, 8Dio, Soundiron...
http://soundiron.com/collections/choirs ... onic-choir
http://www.soundsonline.com/Symphonic-Choirs
https://8dio.com/instrument-category/choirs/
They come in cut-down and full versions.
If you have Kontakt, Soundiron may be best for you.
Make sure you have plenty of RAM and disk space.
I have cut-down versions of EastWest's Symphonic Choirs and Soundiron's Olympus offerings.
Olympus has a phrase-builder (oohs and aahs), whilst SC has a word-builder, which, if you put in a lot of work, and I mean a lot of work, you can get almost intelligible singing.
There are quite a few other libraries, but I'm sure others here will tell you about them.
Good luck!

Budget up to around 300 for a choir vst, but I am also interested to know what's above (for the future).
Also, are there japanese choirs? If anyone knows the choir from ghost in the shell, something like that would be awesome too.

An EastWest Japanese/Chinese choir library would be awesome!

Check the slavic choirs from Strezov or Impact Soundworks for the "Ghost in the shell" sound (which is clearly inspired from the Bulgarian folk song arrangements in avantgarde styles from the "Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares" compilations from the 70s and 80s).
The key to this sound is the use of clusters, modal scales, parallel structures, voicing in 4ths and 5ths, deep vibrato and the ornamentation.
"Kenji Kawai originally wanted to use Bulgarian folk singers, but was unable to find any, so he relied on the Japanese folk song choir he used earlier in the Ranma 1/2 anime. The song uses an ancient form of the Japanese language mixed with Bulgarian harmony and traditional Japanese notes."
