Look for an Aphex 651 or 661. They both can be had for less than $350 and are extremely transparent yet have a wide range of adjustment. I use my 661 in auto mode to track vocals.

I also like the dbx160X for more of an obvious compression sound.

The RNLA never did it for me and I sold mine pretty quickly.
