Black Panta is fantastic! Those blazin horns! That's right EHP!
Cloak & Dagger is a great riddim but taco b you also oughta hear the version "Dub Organiser" which basically is the same riddim just with Dillinger toasting over it.

At the time I have a few dub cuts that get played more often than others. These are:
The Key - Over Come (Absolutely awesome use of echoes and delays)
Leroy Brown - Money Barrier Dub (The horns, oh the horns... overall mix is also great)
Willi Williams - Dungeon Dub (EVERYTHING! This is an ideal example of what good dub is supposed to be)
Pablo Gad - Begga Dub (This is perhaps one of the most innovative dub mixes I've ever heard, just concentrate on how the engineer changes the feeling of the whole tracks with only one precise fader slide...)
Roots Underground - Black Brigade (So dark, so inevitable, and the echoing muted guitar is *pouring* on the mix - FORWARD JAH ARMY, FORWARD!!)
Prince Douglas - March Down Babylon Dub (Shame that this rhythm (Handsworth Revolution) wasn't used more, this cut is extremely powerful, and features lot of vocals, while still maintaining the dubby atmosphere - as if the vocals are transformed into something... more, perhaps)
The Upsetters - Thanks & Dub (A haunting rhythm with a haunting mix - what can I say - Upsetters in full force and Scratch in his prime, this track is one of the greatest that ever came from the Ark)
The Congos - Noah Sugar Pan (Again a phenomenal mix from Lee, I especially like the _really_ quick vocal stabs echoing all over the mix)
These tracks represent my personal dub taste at the time rather adequately, I think.
