Hmm, I'm not at all familiar with LUFS or RMS, so i can't answer that, sorry.
However, if you want to make a mix sound good and include all of the things you mentioned "loud, present, and exciting, yet also give the the tracks breathing room and detail".
I'll have to give you a boring answer my friend. Practise, practise, practise!
There's never a process to solve everything. You have to train your ears to hear when to use what. Be it compression, eq, panning, volume, automation and the list goes on and on. There are tons of tutorials on youtube to tons of problems when mixing that can explain better than I can.
Also, because you mentioned that you wanted loud mixes. If you haven't heard about the loudness war, i suggest reading up on it. It's really an eye opener.
