My "money" formation this year is Trips Bunch.

Basically, on every play in Trips Bunch, you can have one of your receivers run a pattern downfield, and then hot route one of the other three in the bunch to cut across the middle of the field.

If the defense overplays the middle, I also go downfield, and have had several long completions that way. If he drops into coverage against the deep ball, then I usually just drop it off to my receiver cutting over the middle. A lot of times, he will only have to juke or spin one guy to get some decent YAC.

I like this formation, with every play having at least one deep route and being able to hot route a guy over the middle, because it really allows you to take what the defense gives you.
