Software & Native?
I would recommend Sonalksis SV-517/DQ-1 and/or Waves Linear Phase.
You will find the sound in Sonalksis much more pleasant in terms of phase distortion, and simply better than most other native EQs (especially the Q10). The SV-517 is not a completely transparent EQ, but very nice with a distinct "analogue" character (ok, hit me).
The Waves LP is very usable for low cuts (I always use it in low ripple mode) or other stuff that require linear phase adjustment. Can be a very useful tool, although I find it best for cutting and not boosting.
The Sonalksis DQ-1 is a dynamic EQ (sort of like multiband compression but not quite) that can also be used as a normal equalizer. The DQ-1 is not linear phase but so called "minimum phase". Very sweet package.
I found an interesting way of working with the DQ-1 is to approach it as a normal equalizer and do your equalizing. Once that's done, try introducing the dynamic element in the same band, and see what it does. Sometimes it works better, sometimes it doesn't.
