Does logic channel strip have a trim control at the start of the chain? If not, yes you could use a plugin as a gain control. This is also handy for relative adjustments to fader automated channels.
I'd stay away from compression for purely level control in this situation, could get messy fast. (i use compression A LOT for sound design over the Ti bus, but thats another story.)
I use cubase and usually bump the trim up 6db on TI channels so i can have the faders at realistic positions when arranging. I also usually only have 1 or 2 patches on each channel to conserve headroom.
