Some EQing, sometimes some slight reverb and some layering.

If you have a 'real' hihat sample, it's nice if you pitch it up a little.
The hihat pattern is also ideal to get some groove going, don't quantise too strict

It's important to give the volume some variation too, I think there's nothing worse than hi hats (or any drum sound for that matter) that sounds like its being played by a machine gun.

i always try an double layer my hihats,pitch em up a bit and a slight bit of reverb and echo,that should help to pitch yah breaks a bit,its kinda hit and miss(excuse the pun!)and always try an use hihats that sound similar to the break or beats your using,sounds obvious but it works well man,peace.

some compression and a little distortion to the whole drum kit in use(sticky reel setting in reason's scream unit is good)
fortunately i am a drummer and have samples from hats i own (5 pairs).
when using these in a groove... if the hats are holding down the time i keep 'em straight on the money 8th notes, especially if there is a broken ride pattern going on. if they play more of a feel, i swing (or shuffle) a bit until i get something along the lines of a London Elektricity track.
dynamics play an important roll. i am using reasons redrum unit and utilize all three velocity levels. heavy accents on 1,2,3,4 and medium hits on the filling 8th notes and then what ever is necessary to fill the ghost notes.
other types of sampled hats help... such as the sound of a hat closed with the foot, a choked hat, a hat played with a brush or the butt end of a stick.
hope this helps.

Hey, why don't you compile a few hihat breaks in a sample pack? That would be nice

eqing is the start, usually remove most of the bottem 200hz and lower, don't need that at all, most of the hi hat sound is 1k and up, can usually remove a lot fo the high end of REAL hi hat samples, like 10k, because it can be too loud, and you just need a bit fo ti for it to stick out in most tracks, there's notihng that usually fills the extreme high end like hi hats.
compression is curcial too, this makes the high hat a quick sharp tap, or a long drawn out sizzle, depending on the release and attack of the compressor.
The sizzle effect after on medium.
