As a lover of Bulgarian dance I would have to say there is nothing quite like 25/16. As they used to say on Bandstand, "it's a good beat and you can dance to it." If you want more info about Bulgarian dance music you can check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_dances

7/8. it allows the player(s) and conductor to control and modify the phrasing (2+2+3, 2+3+2, or 3+2+2), it's interesting to audiences, and the musical possibilities (syncopated triplet/eight notes, sporadic rhythms, etc.) are endless.
Into the Raging River is a good example (alternating 2+2+3 and 2+3+2) towards the middle
