Waves Ren Reverb...

I have the Waves Gold Bundle and was wondering about settings for Ren Reverb as a Master bus reverb at mixdown. I do mostly Hip-Hop and R&B and looking for something to just fill in the gaps and help everything mesh. I get a good mix before it but have noticed when plugging in the Ren reverb how it adds the that sparkle of ambience and brings a little more cohesiveness to the track.

What do you think my first reverb should be?

I have a Soundcraft Ghost and a AlesisHD24XR. I have been mixing in Protools, with the renaissance reverb as my main reverb, but that takes up quite a bit of power. I am dedicated to moving more and more torwards outboard gear. What do you think the first reverb I should be should be? At first, I think vocals deserve the best quality of reverb.

Why a phase problem when adding reverb?

As the question asks, when I do even a rough mix of some sounds I'll add some reverb. As I turn up the return I here a BIG time phase difference!
It makes me want to shut it off. I notice this particularly when monitoring in headphones, less in the mains.

I also here this when I do a mix on a DAW sometimes.
