Would the Burner NPS or Compressors work better for my needs?

I'm playing Blues, real R&B, a little jazz, some rock, some country; all the usual stuff!

I play fingerstyle and some thumb/palm-mute.

Thanks for any help.

A few questions:

What guage do you currently use with your bass set up as it is???
Nickel or Stainless???
Flat wound, half wounds, or round wounds???
What scale length is your bass???
What type/model bass do you play???
Fretted or Fretless???

For me, on all of my Smiths (Fretted or Fretless) it's Smith Medium Taper Cores (Stainless Steel): .044; .063; .084T; .106T; .130T.
