c800g is a really bright mic, with some nice teeth to the high end... which can border on spitty... works great for hip-hop/rnb, as that frame of reference creates more room for the low-end...
U87 has more of the articulated Neumann midrange, which will probably be more your style on vocals that have to compete with growling guitars...
On the other hand, I'm a firm believer that a mic has to be chosen on the basis of the vocalist. There are very few absolutes (though there are some "safe bets" --like a nice U67). If you can spare the time, you should shoot a few out on the singer. You might find that a beat-up 57 sounds awesome.
Seriously, the people recommending the sm7 know what they're talking about. For rock, you may be suprised how well it can work, especially with a killer pre-amp.
