Good post.
As far as my processing, it's very relative to the masters I get. Most stuff I get is not perfectly mixed and unfortunately, they want it loud so I give them what they want. Just as long as the client is happy, that's all I care about. I don't always add a compressor, depending how the track sounds.
And to Fred Pearson, check out the Voxengo Rbrain pro, it doesn't truncate, it's a dithering tool. I use it all the time.
