or is aux better for reverb.. and the rest direct to the track ? please let me know thanks!

The aux is usually used for FX.... and maybe for parallel compression....

If you have overdubs... lets say...4 vocal tracks, send them to a group and then EQ and compress the group... I usually record vocals with a compressor during the tracking process... because each vocal take will have differences in the dynamic range and usually you want consistence... so, the particular dynamics of the tracks were controlled during the tracking.... so now you just need the "glue".... so, use a compressor in the Group....

At least that's what I do....
