In response to "I've always considered ... more of a "pause for effect" kind of thing, between a comma and a period. " by Cuzzin Todd

Looking up the rules, there are different ways to use it. I think I'm in the "Use an ellipsis to show a break, or trailing off, of a thought" camp.

Because in my mind my thoughts often trail off. 8-)
I've also probably used "an ellipsis to show a pause in a thought or to create suspense" like your example.
