I personally dont apply any compression or dithering effects to my final mix as i try to leave it to the guy who masters my tunes.

If you're wantin to master your tracks yourself though, depending on how much compression you've used on seperate instruments, it could be the icing on the cake to put a compressor on the master effects/output, and then maybe a maximising plugin to get it nice and loud...
