Darn Dave!  Your responses to these types of questions ALWAYS inspire G.A.S. ! 

Yeah... He cost me a fortune over at FabFilter LOL!
 
I'm trying hard to ignore his Melda recommendations....... (my loss, of course  )

Same here, but don't regret it a bit.  FF's are a good investment and great plugs.  I don't think I've gotten as good sounding results as quickly with any other plugins.  They are great both in sound and ease of use.

I either use iZotope Ozone or PSP's Xenon (a limiter - so cheating a little on the topic!).  Also, the UAD SSL Buss compressor.

I've demoed PSP's MasterComp which is really clear and sweet sounding.  Next time they have a big sale I might have to get that.

They had Mastercomp for $50 a little while back. not only that but if you had other things from them the ussual cumulative discount applied to the $50 price. I think I snapped it up for about 30.
 
Another one that gets lots of raves- and comes bundled with Ableton- is "The Glue" 

I'm going to go with SDC too. I've only had I for a little while, but it really seems to add some "sheen" or " weight" to the sound. For the price it's hard to beat. The SL model from SKnote stripbus is also really nice. It just glues things together.

When it comes to value in analog modeled plugins SKnote is unbeatable.

Dang! That's the kind of sake I'm looking for!

Isn't The Glue supposed to be a version of the SSL Buss Comp?
