I've had the chance to use most of the processors on the market today...and when playing at a church I find myself most frequently using the XT Live. It is rare that I can use the dual amp setup of the X3 and I don't need it for its vocal capabilities...so the cheaper XT Live works wonders for me.
As for Vox vs Line6, I (presently) fall into the latter camp as the Line6 seemed most useful for my ever changing collection of nylon string, steel string acoustic, and various electrics. Interestingly, however, for all electrics I end up using AC30 TB amp model and should, probably explore the tonelab again.
In terms of setup, I usually have 4 patches for each guitar...unless doing a special that requires something wacky. The tones are amp sim, a tubescreamer on stomp (low gain to just add crunch without much volume), the drum/horn leslie sound (usually set to slow and 100% mix), and an analog delay (set to tap tempo) and the wah effect set to the teese vocal wah clone. The patches are setup as follows:
1 - above with tap tempo at 1/4 note delay (amp sim on when switching)
2 - above with tap tempo at dotted 1/8 (amp sim and delay on when switching)
3 - above with higher gain on amp sim and dotted 1/8 delay (amp sim on volume lowered)
4 - a "verb" patch set to cavern (i think) with a fixed delay for swells
In terms of setup. I run out of the mono into a DI and from their into the board. If the venue doesn't have quality monitoring (aviom setup) or isn't picky about volumes, I'll take the parallel send from the DI into my Atomic 112-50 amp for stage volume (pointed at my head).
If you have questions about modeling in general...or specifics of my setup...just let me know.
