For me it has to be Palestrina, especially the Missa Papa Marcelli as this was playing when I sunk into oblivion on pre med before going down to theatre for GC surgery in 78 when I was 21. I can't listen to any other piece of music in quite the same way :o)
I agree with you on Gibbons although I also like the much less well remembered Peter Phillips (a Catholic recusant who, rather like John Dowland spent his entire career composing and playing in foreign courts as a result).
I've added you to my flist. You'll find my musical tates are pretty catholic, but I'm always happy to talk about them :o)
