You should have an active Update Plan (WUP).
You should have a comprehensive bundle (focus on one developer).
Their newer products are very often innovative problem solves that simply and quickly work. All these emulations of old gear are nice but for daily work not that relevant imo.
The Waves support is top. The company is big enough to survive the rapit market development.
Waves (and Eventide) are for me the most secure bets in audio plugin industry.

I have both developer's big bundles.
I tend to prefer Waves because of their innovations and their support.
But it's a close race between them.

Psp audio - have plugin going back 20 that are still supported. Lots of plugins, great sound and great support. Buy them in-sale, you may have to be patient to collect them but they also offer dynamic discounts

Btw...
I was purchased the Ilok dongle and maybe better to keep all my Ilok licenses to the dongle?
I really want to know your opinion... thanks

Ilok is an infinite debate. I’d start by stating that no solution is perfect and people have different, often opposite, opinions on this subject.
Ilok offers 3 ways to authorize (but not every dev uses each of them): physical dongle, hard drive authorization and cloud.
I strongly prefer the dongle, but it takes a usb port and it’s inconvenient if you move a lot (it can be damaged/lost); drive authorization doesn’t require a usb port and it’s more convenient on the move but it can be problematic of your drive fails with the licenses activated on it; the cloud allows you move between multiple machines (you only need to login) and you don’t risk to lose your licenses in case of a hardware failure, but you need a fast amd stable internet connection (and iLok servers may have some planned maintenance or outages from time to time).
Keep in mind that, once a license is activated on your iLok account, you can move it back and forth, for example remove it from the cloud ad put it back to the cloud or the “not activated” licenses… and most devs provide you 2 activations (if not 3) so you can have drive authorization when you’re on the move and dongle or cloud authorization in the studio.
For me, the dongle is the best choice, but I’m not moving my setup (maybe I can use a laptop in a different room) and I don’t want to depend on my internet connection (so cloud is ruled out).
Then the choice is yours, depending on your actual needs.
