TB Pro Impress3 is the greatest compressor no one has ever heard of.

Excellent metering. Multiple detection modes. Sidechain EQ for tone shaping. A second dynamic sidechain EQ (good for de-essing). L/R and M/S unlinking. Custom attack and release shapes. Tempo sync'd release. Built in clipper. Built in limiter with multiple detection options. Ability to swap the clip/limit order. Compression by LUFS (great for leveling different tracks in a DJ set, among other use cases). Level-matched A/B. Detector and delta monitoring.

And for those who don't want a bunch of complexity, there are lots of great sounding, properly organized and named presets.

Only downside is that while the visual feedback is excellent, IMO it doesn't have the most aesthetic looking UI. God-tier compressor otherwise.

I really like Pro-C2. It's sound very good and the design is amazing as always from Fabfilter. Also I really love Presswerk. I think it so underrated. Great sound with analogue feel...

Never liked C2 in any mode, except one nice M/S trick bManic did back in the day. Kotelnikov took its place.
