OK, here is the trick. Every Copiz switcher provides many gconf keys in order to set the window switch behavior

Let's assume you have the static switcher. Go to /apps/compiz/plugins/staticswitcher/allscreens/options/ GConf directory.

In this directory you have "next_all_key" (desc: Popup switcher if not visible and select next window out of all windows) using <Ctrl><Alt>Tab value. This mean that in default Compiz setting you have
  * Alt+Tab -> switch visibile (i.e. unminimized) windows
  * Ctrl + Alt + Tab -> switch all (i.e. minimezed and unminimized) windows.

In order to work like Metacity you have to
 * set "next_all_key" to "<Alt>Tab"
 * set "prev_all_key" to "<Shift><Alt>Tab"
 * set "next_panel_key" to "<Ctrl><Alt>Tab"
 * set "prev_panel_key" to "<Shift><Ctrl><Alt>Tab"
 * set "next_key" and "prev_key" to "Disabled"

I suppose the same could be applied to other Compiz switchers (switcher, ring, and ?????).
