Maul-the-band compression rarely comes into play in most cases. Especially on one's own mixes. I can't even imagine the need for MBC if I was "self-mastering" and I could fix whatever the imbalance was in the mix.

Other than that, there is no starting point. You do what the mix asks you to do. If you didn't already do that in the mix, it isn't going to change when you put a different hat on.
