The best list is of course only my personal opinion. I would be delighted if you would write your favorites in the comments! :)
1st place: Korneff Audio - Sure Level-Loc
Korneff's new "ultimate character compressor" is a great emulation of the Shure Level-Loc. The plug-in delivers crushing compression, saturation and distorion and is packed with innovative features. (for example, the voltage of the battery can be changed, which has a huge impact on the sound).

The new native version of Heritage Audio's BritStrip is a great neve- style channel strip. It provides everything you need to shape your tracks and bring them to life. The plugin especially impressed me with its usability and analog sound character.

Waves Sync Vx
Wave's new Sync Vx Vocal Alignment offers extensive functions and a pleasant workflow. I like both the design and the functionality of the plug-in. In my short test, the tool ran absolutely stable and, thanks to the ARA integration, always synchronized with the DAW.
