It seems like everyone is trying to move towards an equlibrium, ie. trying to establlish an "accepted best way to EQ" or that "digital eq sucks for boosting highs" etc.

This is silly. We each have ears. If it sounds right, it is right. Sometimes I use my board EQ to boost the highs, sometimes I use a plug in to do it. I try both and see which one sounds right. Don't stress out so much about the status quo. If you start wondering why things work for you, you'll be able to better refine YOUR working process, and THAT is what will help you the most.
I agree completely... BUT (you knew that was coming right). I started the thread fishing for answers from Michael because.. if you always do the same old thing you will always get the same old results right?

To put it another way, I have been doing this recording thing for quite a few years now and I have developed my "thing." It works for me but that does not mean my "thing" is the best way to work. It might not even be the best way for me to work and I just don't know it yet.

I am always looking to expand my mind and grow as a person and as a producer/engineer. Picking the brains of a great like Michael and all the other wonderful people here is a good way to view other ideas outside of my box. In the end these methods may not work for me but just learning about them will help me grow, that is my goal.
