I really really like Reverence by Audio Damage. It's dead simple to use too.

The UAD card has the absolutely stunning Plate 140 effect. This is probably the best VST plate you'll get barre none. If you're adverse to DSP cards though, you'll want to look elsewhere.
Next up, IK multimedia's CSR has an excellent plate. It's based on the Lexicon plate algo's to give you an idea of the sound. Sounds great, but it may not be the perfect emulation of an EMT (again, see the UAD version).
After that, the Breverb plate is pretty good. I've only used it on drums, and have found some good uses for it, but I still prefer CSR or the UAD Plate 140.
Finally, Reverence sounds like an old school verb more than a real plate. It's definitely an effect verb in that it's great for 80's sounding drums, but nowhere near as useful or in the same ballpark as the UAD or CSR plates.

by far the best plate i have ever heard is the nebula lexicon 300 'warmplate' preset you can get from nebula programs. i ab'd this against all the others, and it sounds '3d' compared to '2d'.
it might be your cheapest option too, so i advise to check it out!
EDIT > whoops, this is probably not what you mean by "Algorithmic", but if you are after quality use this whatever... or altiverb wendy carlos plate for emt sound

Yes inside Nebula there are a lot of good plate reverbs, for example the old plate programs have been sampled using an old EMT unit.

Sorry to sabotage the thread 
but I was just wondering...
How does a plate reverb sound?
What are the differences that could make it preferable to a 'typical' digital reverb?

I'd wait for Bootsie's epicverb! That thing sounds stunning!

The difference is in the sound. It's not like a typical room/hall reverb. Often plate reverbs are used because of their ability to create huge spaces or because of their "vibey" sound and special decay characteristics.

And, it's funky, Funky.
I've got nothing to sell...am I on the right site?

Although I don't think of them as creating huge spaces...
In my experience, plates tend to be "flatter" than hall reverbs. Halls tend to add a sense of space by adding reflections that sound like they come from the back wall. The reverb sound itself tends to sound separately to the dry sound. Plates on the other hand tend to "stick" to the dry sound and become part of the sound, rather than part of the space. They're good for making tracks sound bigger and fluffier, without messing up the space of the rest of the mix. They're particularly good on vocals and lead guitar.
At extremes, they can sometimes sound a bit like an oil can. Shy's examples though are a delicious dense plate that has very little oil can.
They're a good example of the "fluffiness". Listen to how they become part of the sound, extending it, without actually creating a sense of depth or space.In other contexts, plates can also be great on snare drums to add power - precisely because they become part of the sound, extending it, without distorting the sense of space in the rest of the mix.
