Just to follow up, the plug-ins I bought are:Waves CLA-Classic Compressors (which gives you excellent modeled versions of the LA2A tube compressor, LA3A, and Universal Audio 1176 FET-based compressor).
I went for those because they have very distinct characters, plus the 1176 can react in as little as 50 microseconds. That's right, micro not milliseconds. *grin*
The other plug-in I went for is the vocal Rider. It doesn't eliminate the need for automated fader moves for the lead vocal, but it sure takes care of most of that.
