Thanks to this list I checked out while drinking my morning tea, I ended up testing IK's Stealth on a mix I just finished. Wow. That thing is good.

but i dig the L1 on individual tracks and busses during mixing
 
after 6 years of using it, i ALMOST have it down.

Cakewalk's Concrete Limiter is really under appreciated. I have the Waves L1 and a couple others but I generally stick with the Cakewalk PC unit now.

rain,
i only use the L2 for mastering.
almost never in my mixing, it's just overkill for that.
 
sometimes i'll run stuff thru the L1 and not even kiss the meter,
just for the way it colors it.

I must not be the gear slutz type...I really like Boz's The Wall. And I love IK Stealth.

The Gearslutz community seems to consist of 20% who really know their stuff, and 80% who happily regurgitate whatever they've previously read on Gearslutz. No surprise that there's a consensus.
 
There's not that a single one of those plugins that doesn't deserve to be on the list. But there are easily a dozen more that are in the same league but just haven't reached critical buzz-mass on GS. If you're currently using something that's not on that list, don't worry about it.
