I tend not to compress my stereo OH which are typically a spaced pair. I don't compress going in, and I've been staying away from compressing in the mix. Even with good cymbal choices and an attention to dynamics, I find that any compression on those stereo OH tend to accentuate the cymbals more than I'd like, and there's more sizzle and not as much cut. I've been doing mainly pop and rock stuff lately.
Now, I have been running a Mono OH in combination with the stereo pair, and that mic will usually get around 2-3dB of compression going in, usually from a Distressor or a BAE 10DCF. That mic is usually less cymbal-y, so I get a little more frisky. I will compress that mono OH in the mix, sometimes a lot.
