I always liked Daft Punk & DJ Sammy...don't know about types of electronica...just certain artists.
I dislike trance, but I do love early rave and house, both experimental and commercial. Orbital, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient Works I and II), Leftfield, the Orb - they all made great music.
Jungle is probably the darkest dance sub-genre, and the most difficult to get into, but I love that too. Electronica hasn't been nearly as interesting in the decade just passed, I hope this decade is better.

Then do explain to me how you want to program a Moog Modular.
Also, why limit myself? with good synths and a good bit of talent you can make music which is far out of the reach of any other instrument, why limit myself to use a keyboard when for example a sequencer will help me create what I need?
Without synths, especially the big analogs we wouldn't have pieces of music like "An Ending (Ascent)
Favorite electronic/Trance performers: Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk Boards of Canada, Ferry Corsten, Dash Berlin, Daft Punk, PPK, The Morrighan, Delerium, Faithless, Moby, Air, New Musik, William Orbit, Purple Motion, Orbital aaaaaaaaaaand a fair bit more.

I have always wanted to mix Death Metal vocals & clean opera like female vocals with electronica style music...I am sure this has been done in some compacity but I am unaware of any artists who have done this.
I haven't listened to much electronic music in a while, but I used to be deeply into the industrial dance scene, and loved songs like Front Line Assembly's Plasticity and Skinny Puppy's Dig It
IIRC, I now only have three electronic CDs:
Delerium, Karma
Front Line Assembly, Caustic Grip
Mentallo & The Fixer, Revelations 23
So I guess you could say those are my favourites.

Front Line Assembly once remixed some songs by Fear Factory: see here.
As for mixing electronica, death grunts, and opera...
But, whatever floats your boat. I don't think I've ever heard anybody do that.
I don't know much about Trance although I have a passing interest in electronic music, but like others here I tend to gravitate more towards music where the instruments are played live. I have most of the albums by all of those artists you mention though and I highly rate all of them. I was most distressed to discover my copy of Insides had disappeared the other day after a 5 year lapse in listening to it, I had to get another copy and remind myself of what a great album it is.
I went to see the Prodigy on the Fat of the Land tour, and that was a great show.
I don't know if you'd class them as electronica exactly as they tend to mix live instruments with programmed stuff, but I just bought the new Massive Attack album this afternoon, listening to it now and loving it so far.
I'm also a big fan of Luke Vibert/Wagon Christ, Red Snapper and Bjork. And anyone who thinks that electronica and pop cannot also rock should check out the Peeping Tom project by Mike Patton of Faith No More.

It doesn't seem like it would work...but most black metal has opera female vocals...even with some electronic music.[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49ZJqqrr6jk[/yt]

But lots of metal in that song.
Harrumph. Not the black metal I listen to.
Harrumph, I say!
But while we're on the subject of Satanism--I remembered that I own a fourth electronic CD: The Electric Hellfire Club.

Trance isn't really my cup of tea, but I do like my house and big beat, among other things.
Cruxshadows is probably the closest I come to enjoying Trance/Electronica. I've heard them refered to as "darkwave" whatever that means.
Their best song is probably Winterborn. Although they have a lot of strong songs.

Good stuff.
Good stuff.
haven't heard Airsculputure but agree on TD and Redshift. There's also Free System Projekt who could very much pass for 70s era Tangerine Dream.
Probably could also include Klaus Schulze.
