I've largely settled on this list for the libraries - though I still need to go looking for more. A budget library, for the purposes of the book, are going to be sub-$300. I'm also excluding libraries that require a specific DAW, so only SFZs, VSTs, and Kontakt libraries need apply. And as mentioned previously, libraries which are chords or palettes only - with which one can not simply get the instrument playing a single note and nothing more, to try and be more clear - are straight out of the running.

Cool idea. I remember back in 2006-ish looking at the Siedlaczeck stuff and wishing I could afford it. Now it's under $200! I do in fact have the "Classic Orchestra (from Advanced Orchestra) sample disc" which served me decently in the realm of percussion and, I think, pizzi violins.
Are you going to seek out information from people who have used the libraries to compile your info for this project?
I'd definitely like to, yes. Get thoughts besides my own, especially if they're people who've used multiple of the mentioned libraries.
My dream, ultimate project would be to write a history of orchestral sampling, but though you can find any information on the Internet, some information is more diffuse then other information...
