Even if you're going to leave it on all the time, try it in front of the effects chain. Might work well there too.
IMHO none of these, or any others, are going to give you a "fatter" sound. You need to practice your "fat sound" guitar technic or buy a new amp or guitar or all of the above 
There are infinite number of ways. The number one way: your technic of playing the guitar itself. Your soul through your hands is going to take you farther than ANY equipment. Others ways: A new guitar, tweaking the EQ, just about any pedal at certain settings, a Rangemaster, a sonic maximizer (e.g. BBE 462), etc., etc. Maybe a little off subject: A common mistake for beginner guitarists (and some not-so-beginner) is to get a new effect and immediately start using and gigging with it constantly with out _really_ paying much attention to it...this can be especially annoying with wah-wahs! You need to practice your effects just like you practice guitar. Work with it, listen to it, tweak it, play all sorts of different things through it at all different sorts of settings. _Then_ use it effectively and blow your audience away with it. IMHO, the reason why so many folks around here these days seem disatisfied with stock wah-wahs, is because they simply haven't figured out how to make it work. (OK, now I'm ranting and I just got myself in trouble) I know you're just fishing for some hints here, Eug. I guess I've given my share of hints anyone else?
