When I used to use a one shot colour CCD (STL11 OSC) I used Images Plus but it did a lot of that stuff automatically.
It split the image into its component RGB and then processed them from there. It wasn't a lot of work at all. I did notice the stacking process that split the channels seemed to give the best results so I think there is a gain in doing all that extra processing. Whether CCDstack is the best software is probably more the question.
I found at that time CCDstack was not OSC friendly software. Perhaps that has changed but CCDstack seems to not handle colour images well in my experience. Try opening one of your Photoshop processed CCD colour images in CCDstack - yuck!
