For modern type (timbo) beat-boxing I usually use an LDC. I'll use a pop filter and angle a little off to the side because it's a lot of wind. I typically won't use any compression going in. Once it's recorded I may or may not go in and adjust volume (in the editor, not using automation) on individual hits if I need it. THEN I might use some compression at mixtime if I want that sound. As for doubling/stacking, it just depends on what I'm going for. I might go single track mono, or double track it hard l/r. Occasionally I'll multitrack a beatbox, but that's pretty rare cause it usually sounds better if it's done for real.
