BEST OVERALL VST(s) FOR PROCESSING 'LIVE' GUITAR?

Greetings Folks!

I'm an intermediate level guitarist and home studio hobbyist with a boatload of great gear including a firewire-based mixing board to a Mac Pro with Garageband and Logic Express, but I'm completely new to recording, so I've got a few basic 'newb' questions for the membership here regarding VSTs for guitar.

Vocal Processing TIPS

Forums

Hey guys. I'm looking for some pointers on how you process your vocals. Sometimes I have real trouble getting mine to sit in a mix and sometimes I even find they sound quite thin at the source which is obviously something I really need to take care of.

SO!

I would like to know from you pro types.

What kind of signal level do you use for vocal input ?

Parallel Processing/Side-Chaining

So most of us know the ducking trick with the kick and bass, sending things to "like" reverbs (ie vocal verb, drum verb, or just one for everything), but what else do you guys do? I'd like to learn some new skills. One I like to try is to set up a side-chain with a white noise generator and gate on the aux channel. It will be reading the snare.
