compression on vocals

Hello all,
I am tracking some vocals and have been trying to figure out how to set my compression. The singer's volume has lots of fluctuation in it due to his style, so I want to be careful not to over-compress the signal before putting it to disk. This is the setup I am using: (now don't laugh please, this is the best I can afford at the moment...)

Critique on this potential Pro Tools setup

Considering mixing in Pro Tools in the near future. I would definitely have to upgrade my current rig. I am thinking about Crane Song Spider (if I can find one yet), have the PT 24bit ADAT interface, but need a few more Mix Farms (w/ new Sony EQ plugin - already have Waves, BombFactory, Reverb One, and McDSP Analog channel).

The mix bus was high!

As we strive to get a good sound out of pro tools remember...

Cause the mix bus was high!
(Sing along now)

Was gonna mix my song today, but the mix bus was high
Was gonna make that vocal sit, but the mix bus was high
Now my mix sounds like sh*t and I know why
The mix bus was high, the mix bus was high the mix bus was high..
