I use a Sea to Summit dry sack (20L) with eVent on the bottom. I know the 20L is large for this bag, but with the wider bottom of the bag, and the way its shaped like an oval on the bottom it allows the bag to be stuffed into more of a "cube" shape instead of a long cylinder that never fits well in you pack. And, the larger dry sack allows me to put clothes in there too. either way, it makes a nice fit for my pack. If you use a waterproof bivy, you could use that as a stuff sack in itself. That way you don't have to use two other stuff sacks (one for the bivy and one for the bag)

I don't like to recommend a compression stuff sack for anything above & including 750 down fill. Instead I prefer to let the clusters remain as full as possible without being compressed. Just a personal thing. You can stuff your sleeping bag into a day pack & have plenty of room left over for other items without crushing the down, however if you must use a compression stuff sack for the WM VersaLite, choose a medium size or 13-16L.
