Favorites Bin

Similar function to dragging effects to a track effects panel, but instead dragging your favorite instruments or effects to a Favorites Bin/ panel.

Im not sure if what you are asking is for the ability to create a favourite list of the plugins that you mostly use? A few of the other Daw’s I’ve been trying out have a favourite list which I find is a really useful feature. 
Seens all Sonar does is keep a short list of the last few plugins that you used. 
A favourite list is when you select the ones that you like the most and when you go to add a plug in they are ready to go.

Yes, I do mean a list of favorites. But I also thought that drag and drop would be cool. We already drag effects.

While waiting for that, you could always create your own Plug-In Menu Layout and call it something like "My Coolest Instruments". That way, even drag-and-drop will work. Something like this:

i like to leverage the pro channel FX Chain (along with other PC fx) and then save as a preset (i tend to group them by naming with company like CW, SSL, Waves and a given role: bass, drums, vox, guitars, piano, etc etc) so it's easy to grab a bunch and begin tweaking (assuming they're not already doing what i want). this way all effects are in a single location for me to adjust. i seldom ever use the FX bin.

I'm not sure I understand this request. Can you elaborate?

This is what I do to have my favorite FX and instruments close at hand. It's just another Category. It's named "A-List" because the "A" followed by a dash puts it at the top of the Category list:
