I love vocal doubling. There are as many ways to go about it as there are moods or "scenes" possible in the songs you have. On some of my song's I really prefer ala Elliott Smith/Beatles/Floyd of just having two lead vocals at equal volume, perhaps panned. It really depends on what the song is about though. You could make an arguement that if the song is about something lonely or solitary then perhaps a double is not appropriate. Dark Side Of The Moon covers this exestential theme all over and yet David's vocal is doubled I think in almost every instance... so it's Art not science.

When I mix pop rock tunes sometimes I do a 65/35 split in levels just to thicken up the lead without getting too crazy, because the artist doesn't want to deal with re-creating that vibe in a live situation.

Also, I've used a lot of different ADT's before and nothing will ever beat just singing those lines over and over until you've got some takes that are nearly identical... and then the flaws that are left become the stuff that gives you goosebumps.
