Usually my aim with dbl tracking vocals is to make it very hard to tell it's been done. Panning them out opposite each other defeats that goal. In the case of a duet, I would pan both tracks of singer A somewhere around 10 or 11 o-clock, and both tracks of singer B somewhere between 1 and 2 o-clock. To me, delays sound good panned out, but the same person coming from two different places at the same time is just un-natural, and reveals the trick.
As far as the same old bag of tricks - yeah, that's a problem. It's hard to think outside the box when you're mixing in the box.

i like the sound of double tracked main vocals. i mix em down the middle and not always at the same volume. I'm also not that worried about them being PERFECT.
I don't think they sound good on a lighter arrangement, although, on a track we did that was just acoustic guitars and 1 main vocal, it sounded eerie with double tracked mains over two acoustic guitars. We ended up keeping the dbl tracked version
I think there's a 1000 different ways to do one thing, and they all might end up sounding great in their own right, depending on the overall sound of the recording. One thing i am finding is that when we stumble on a new sound, or a creative way to record a "same old same old" instrument, it's almost always impossible to replicate it once we've done it.
That makes me smile. It means i should always be looking for a new way to do an old thing.
