Hey, nice mix - nice balance between everything. Here's what I did on my lead vocal:
Compressor w/ 3:1 ratio > LA-2A slight peak reduction > Waves Deesser, bell curve at 7500Hz > send to reverb w/ 100ms predelay and 2.6 ms decay
My background vocals each had EQ with various curves followed by Waves RVox for a gate + compressor, and an Air Enhancer plugin on their bus. They were sent to a reverb w/ a 1 sec decay time.
The tricky part of the BG's for me was - it seemed to make sense to change the panning throughout the song. The levels varied quite a bit on them too, so I ended up riding the levels quite a bit throughout.
Don't know if that helps - Great work on your mix though - would love to hear of techniques you find helpful as well.
