my approach is simplicity. do whatever is necessary to get the amp to sound good in the room, and then sweep the speaker with whatever mic i feel like using that day. if i wanna get crazy, i'll spend a little more time to put up a distant room mic or a second close mic, but i've noticed (especially lately) that i'm using fewer and fewer printed tracks than i used to, and it's getting easier to work with.

oh, and i'm almost always taking a DI now "just in case" things don't work out.
