Title basically says it. I know it's more expensive but can I put compression fittings on soft tubing without it leaking or some other catastrophe along those lines?

Compression fittings are much more secure than barbs. Just make sure you're getting the right size and type.
Sure you can, just make sure the fittings are for soft tubing, as they are different from those for hard tubing, and they are not compatible as far as i know. I have used both, no problem at all with either of them. I used to have soft tubing, but i recently upgraded to Ryzen and installed hard tubing. Let me show off my current setup, with hard tubing: http://imgur.com/a/gtpb0 :)
You may notice that while the upper part is all hard tubing, the bottom has soft tubing, for the drains: there i'm using compression fittings with soft tubing. My fittings are from Koolance (http://koolance.com/nozzle-single-compression-for-10mm-x-13mm-3-8in-x-1-2in)
