Default Question about Vox Slap Delay track

I am recording vocals.

I have:

Vox Lead
Vox Harmony 1 through Vox Harmony 4

Should I have a separate Vox Slap Delay for each vocal or is it cool to use just one?

Slap has the psychological effect of adding a kind of presence to a track, bringing it forwards in the mix.
So I would use one slapback (shorter) for the Lead and another one (slightly longer) for the 4 Harmonies. That way all the vocals will feel more prominent than all the other tracks, but the Lead will feel most prominent. Or at least, you'll have separate control over them.

Default Thank You... & Followup Question ...

As far as EQing Vocals, I have a 'Vox BUSS' that has EQ, Compressor, De-esser & Reverb.

Should I also EQ each individual Vox track separately too?

Also, should I have a seprate BUSS for the harmony tracks, or is it typical to send all of them to just one BUSS ?

There isn't really a standard way of doing it.
I would say that you'd be better to have De-essers and Comps on each individual track. Their purpose is basically as "repair kits", and different things will need repairing on different tracks.
EQ and Reverb, by comparison, are sort of "varnishes", so they can go on the buss.
