Orchestral sounds and various ethnic/exotic instrument sounds are what I use the most, and they cost money to produce, which is more likely than not why you don't see much in the way of free sample libraries for that kind of thing. I think this was recently discussed at great length on both the LAD list and on the Ardour IRC -- why aren't there more free orchestral libraries?
