One thing to think about, is by using two compressors during tracking, is that you have to be extremely careful not to limit the dynamic range of the source so much that you have no options left during mixdown. Part of the fun and challenge of mix is having tracks that can still be sculpted to fit together in different ways that may change from song to song. If the track is compressed into a brick you'll have to automate the life back into it (or maybe not depending on the type of music).
