I like RComp,

but I mostly just use automation... better for noise floor

Flux compressor or Massey CT4 are my current go-to's...only on the vo bus, not per channel, whilst riding faders into the bus, 2-3 db max. If your talking commercials, the CT4 is pretty good at the 'up-front' sound. I'm all animation so noise floor's or slamming vo generally are not an issue
I've started using McDSP Channel G Compact on the master bus which could have potential for a vo bus.

I also gravitate toward RComp most of the time.

because the RComp has that limiter built in (only indicated by that little yellow orange or red light) i find the C1 Parametric Compander give a bit more control. http://www.waves.com/Content.aspx?id=237
