Bit late to this discussion, sorry.
I have ended up with Melda SpectralDynamics because I was trying to use the LP64 as a dynamic EQ but it just wasn't quite cutting it. Also, the Waves DeEsser because it has a few more tweaks than the VX64 vocal strip. I've tried a few other Waves plugs and I have the free Melda plugs but I always seem to go back to Sonar's plugs and Pro channel, as everyone seems to agree, they do everything needed, very quickly and very well at that.
I don't have a dedicating mastering suite, but then again I don't think I have the listening environment or the need yet, I tend to outsource any songs that need mastering to an engineer that I have known for a long time and trust his ears and equipment better than my own. It's also good to get a fresh set of ears listening to my mixes because by the time I've finished with them I am too invested in their sound to make any drastic changes.
I guess I'm agreeing with those that are saying, look for a need and go from there.
