Stereo-izing a Mono Signal

Hello,
Any votes as to what is the best sounding technique for getting a mono signal to have some width, if the event was not recorded in stereo? The Eventide H910? Plugins?
Depending on the source, a couple of methods spring to mind. Scott's
mild comb filter method is one.
If it was originally a point source such a guitar or voice, then feeding
two instances of it into a ray tracing reverb, with the virtual source
in slightly different locations will give differing reverb tails on each
of the stereo reverb channels, then feeding the original dry point
source and the wet mixes back into the final mix, will spread the "room
sound" but maintain the point source. If it was a wide source such as a
piano, then giving the virtual sources mild low and high pass filtering
and mixing the reverberant result back into the mix with a small
difference in levels will stretch the sound across as much of the field
as you wish.
