What all these things have in common is simplicity. The simpler the better.
Yea the 808 Kick is great as well.

Another thing I like to do is to build a nice groove with a kick, some percussion and perhaps and simple synth, tidy it up a bit and make it sound round, without too much compression, then route all the channels I worked with to a bus and low pass it, then I get a nice package of bottom I can pitch and play with together with a kick on top of it (side chain the bus comes handy here as well). Also effective to just render the low passed package as a loop and edit it later with pitch tone and other nice effects.

This is what I used normally for all my "harder" classic tunes.
