which compressor do you guys recommend for applying to the entire mix (master)? Are there any specific ones that stick out? You know, something that will make the mix brighter and more vibrant.

Definitely go multiband, as in the Waves LinMB, for instance. Following this with an additional, 'tightening' or 'sweetening' compressor often isn't a bad idea either. Everyone has different tastes and approaches of course, but the Waves LinMB and Waves RComp are good places to start imo.

Remember that a compressor isn't a last resort to make a mix brighter or more vibrant, though. Mastering can't fix a mix, but can only add to it. If you want a different sound, go back to your mix. :)
