Gimp 2.6 for me too.
As for plug-ins, I've been lazy at keeping track. I have several which I think are not supplied by default:
some sharpening ones (Smart Sharpen and LAB sharpen).
one which makes contact sheets.
the rules of third script which displays a grid in the rules-of-third over the picture.
Have also dabbled with writing scripts, but gimp's scripting is not too easy, although I did manage to write what I wanted (one to sharpen and save the file in different sizes of jpeg).

I wasted a whole year using Gimp with UFraw, i now use Photoshop Elements 8, the difference is amazing because i now shoot RAW all the time as Gimp made me use Jpeg.
UFraw makes your RAW look very unnatural on screen and there's nothing you can do to produce a decent image is what i found.
If you post any images from UFraw i'd like to see them here, ta.

I initially used gimp with UFraw, but now use gimp with Raw Therapee (it had more features than UFraw and I think it produced better results).
Gimp doesn't force you to use jpegs. If you like UFraw and install the UFRaw plugin for gimp, when you open a RAW file (from within gimp), then gimp will open the file in UFRAW first - this is similar to Photoshop Elements which will open the RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw.
As I use Raw Therapee, I open my RAW files in RT and save the result as TIFF files, then open these TIFF files from gimp.

I'm currently using 2.6: 2.7 wouldn't compile and I was too lazy to hunt down the libraries 
Beside, I'm getting GIMP 2.6 for Photographers for xmas!
As for plugins, g'mic plugins are quite extensive. http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml
