I would recommend Izotope Ozonic - some components of T-Racks aren't  
bad, and Logic does have some good built-in stuff (Linear Phase EQ  
and Multiband Compressor). However, none of these are a substitute  
for a good mix. As a professional mastering engineer I'm finding that  
way too many people are not taking their time to either mix properly  
or hire someone to mix. They just mix half-way then slap on a bunch  
of plug-ins and say it's "mastered". *HINT* - mastering has nothing  
to do with which plug-ins or piece of equipment you use. The tracks  
that come by me and require very little (if any) "mastering" all tend  
to be from very experienced mix engineers working in great rooms.  
Also, although I'm asked to on many occasions, I try not to master  
tracks that I mix.
