What are your opinions on these three compressors, and in what capacity are they used in different stages of recording?

Foundry Track Compressor (bundled in with Sonar)

Blockfish (from digitalphishphones)

Endorphin (also from digitalphishphones)

Are their any glaring omissions of popular compressors used for specific purposes?

Thank you!

I'll throw ReaComp into the mix (literally into it, onto it, under it, over it, whatever).

In terms of features, it has built in adjustable knee size, precomp (~lookahead), RMS size, classic attack/non-classic attack, built in limiter, up to 64x AA and an output mixer (blend wet and dry together plus the regular stuff.
Totally free as well btw.

Personally I like it because it has loadsa features, full automation and has never caused me any problems. As for the sound, well, who knows. It's how you use it rather than the intricacies of it.
