Compressor for modern Metal/Djent

Thinking about trying out a compressor Pedal for da Djent Sound. Right know im going into a Tubescreamer-derivate (selfbuilt TS with a bunch of Mods, might post it some day) and then straight to the amp. Eq-Pedal is on its way, will probably use it in the loop. But I keep reading about people using compressor pedals before the overdrive/boost, but I can barely find specific recommendations about which pedal to pick up or which compressor-type ist mostly suited for this task (optical, FET,…..). I feel like my sound (especially with my 7-string down to Drop-E) could use some more clarity, so a comp might be worth a shot.
So: what type of Comp should I aim for? Which setting-possibilities are „must haves“? Which Pedals can you recommend? Would love some budget-friendly suggestions aswell, since comps really tend to bust the bank.

Please be gentle about my writing, english is not my first language.
