I just have to say that i smile when i read comments like this.
The compressors have no preference on what style of music is put through them. It could be classical or jazz, hiphop or Progressive house.
Its really up to the user to maximize its use in what ever setting is called for.
Basically what i am trying to say is that they all can work for the job that you require. Its really up to you to choose if its to your liking for the given task. I think the only caveat is that one can work better for one song than another and if you only have one you are stuck.
These days i like using 3 different buss comps for getting a real nice analog"drumpush" when mixing in Ptools. One to fill out the drum tones and thicken it, another to give me the 100-150hz bump and if needed another to give me 60hz. Similar to what i would do on an SSL console.
And they are all different.
