I'm a pretty active contester, and I've always used VOX for SSB and all 
digital modes, including RTTY. Works fine. I use a Yamaha CM500, 
carefully placing the mic a bit above and to the side of my mouth to 
avoid breath pops and give me room to slurp coffee while the computer is 
calling CQ

I use audio editing software to record contest messages, and spend time 
making them sound as good as I can. On CQs, I add a low level "click" a 
few msec before the message starts to make sure that the VOX pulls in.  
I don't need it on a live mic, but it helps on the recording.
