Wouldn't use a supercardiod here... If there is one pattern that will have you picking individual voices out from a choir, it is this...

I did a choral recording last night- used 140's and 4006s (with the 50 mm spheres, but still a 4006). I haven't edited or mastered it, but I'll post a sample so you can hear what this setup should sound like. Believe me, you won't hurt with these mics as described earlier. Especially if you have good preamps.
