If you're working with rock music, the Fatso JR is an excellent all around compressor. It's excellent on Vocs, Bass, Mix buss as well as guitars and drums. But it's pretty aggressive sounding, and I haven't had much experience with it outside the rock genre. Also, you don't need to use the warmth function to get great sounds out of the fatso. It's cool, but it's my least favorite thing about the compressor.

Distressors are great for Bass and Drums, and not bad on vocals. But I wouldn't ever use them on mix buss.
