The performance requirements and design options of the NLC bunch compressor systems are reviewed in the interest of producing a more cost-effective design. The cost and performance of the systems are optimized by trading rf costs with compressor beamline costs. Reasonable limits on the critical beam parameters are used to weigh the final result such that the performance is not compromised. In the process, the sensitivity of the system to injected phase errors is studied and minimized in a simple, calculable way. The system is tested with full longitudinal tracking and some important tolerances are examined. Finally, the impacts of a central injector complex on the compressor design are explored and a few versions are presented. The result is a clear procedure that can be used to generate an optimized, stable compressor design once the final character of the injector complex has been decided.
