I have been using Finale for many years but have never taken advantage of 3rd party plugins . . . just have used the ones that come with Finale. I’d like to try to speed up my work flow and improve the look of my scores, and was wondering if you could reccomend 3rd party plugins that you can’t live without. Thanks!

Version 25 for Mac and Windows

Jari Williamsson's JW plugins are what I use.

Take a look at the following page. This plugin isn't yet available but the developer says "4th quarter 2017".

I agree with Zuill, the JW plugins are indispensable.
