Does it really over-ride the AA tag in terms of browsing, though?  Back
at one point while messing with the comp tag, if I had a comp tag + AA
(AA not equal to VA) the album would show up both under the AA and
under the VA (Compilations) menu... i.e. it seemed they were given
equal browsing.  That could have changed though (my experience was back
at 7.3 days).

As for the OP... I think you need to mess around a bit with what you
have and test it out to make sense.  THere is really no one right way
to tag your music, just what's right for you.  

Given your examples, you might mess around with a small library of just
your Aphex Twin related music and a few other compilation type albums
and set up the tags until you find what you like and go from there.

Do check out those links in Mr. Sinatra's post because there are
possible quirks that can occur due to the Compilation and Various
Artists logic that you might as well be aware of.  That's where the
earlier suggestion of leaving AA blank for compilations maybe the
better method, although I personally don't do that.
