In the past two years, I've owned the Digitech Digiverb, the Hardwire RV-7, and the Zoom MS70CDR. I also own a Boss RV-6, but that one doesn't have reverse.
I personally like the Zoom best for reverse reverb AND gated reverb. The Zoom has a digital interface that allows you a lot of control when dialing in tone and decay. That's super important because digital reverb has the tendency to sound harsh. The Zoom's verbs, when dialed back quite a bit, add a wonderful psychedelic ambiance that combines well with drives and other reverbs. I've found that using the Zoom pedal also helps my guitar "sit in the mix."
The Digitech seemed to be the muddiest of the three. It did sound good for some swirling texture, but wasn't my cup of tea. I had the highest hopes for the Hardwire, which is pretty revered in the reverse reverb community. I thought it sounded too bright/harsh no matter what I did.
Before I got the Zoom, I combined the Digitech with the Boss RV-6 and a Cool Cat Chorus for some decent clean tones. The Digitech was usually in reverse mode but dialed way back. I never used the Hardwire regularly. I tried to like it for a few weeks, then I stopped using it and sold it.
But that's just like my opinion, man
