A friend just bought a project pack, got the free LA-2A and wondered what would be good for buying and downloading expressly for mastering?
I recommended
Fairchild
Pulteq
Precision Limiter
Precision EQ
At least that is what I have used when not analog. and of course an electric cowbell

The Precision stuff (EQ & limiter) are must-haves. The Pultec can be awfully handy also.
The Fairchild...
If you're looking for that "vintage" sound with the lows cut up a bit... I dunno... I've used it a few times for some M/S work, but I really don't care for it at the mastering stage at all.
Mixing is another story...

This is it right here^.
Fairchild is great for bass a lot of times; not so much likey over an entire mix (usually). The LA2A is another greatformixingnotformastering plugin. Maybe UA should develop a "precision" compressor? I'd buy it twice.
Looks like you already recommended the ones that would be decent
Looks like you already recommended the ones that would be decent for mastering. Maybe the cambridge eq, but I prefer the precision eq to the cambridge.
