121's are indeed a nice choice! They are also very versatile because the back side of the mic sound quite different. You could also use them for electric guitar (they smoke there!),saxes, acoustic guitars, violins etc.

On the other hand the rode nt-4 stereomic is also a nice choice if you are somewhat on a budget. Also an advantage is that it is a "set and forget"mic, since because of the design you have no phase issues. The nt-4 is also an excellent choice on acoustic guitars. ( i also saw bruce swedien using one on a picture in this forum)

@ cisko: I think you mean the royer 122. The 121 is not phantom powered.
