There are so many higher end compressors out there it's hard to narrow it down.
But would you rather have what some people view as a "vintage vibe", or a compressor that's truly all-round (as in can go very clean to smack!)? No compressor is the be-all end-all, that's for sure. But if I were to pick one that fits the needs you describe, it'd certainly be the Distressor. It might not have a vintage vibe, but engineering not a fashion contest.. Go for the best sounding unit.
