Here's some good bang for the buck mics:

Audix D6 (kick)
Shure Beta52 (kick)
Audix i5 (snare/elec gtr cabs) x 2
Beyer M201 (snare)
Shure SM57's (everybody needs at least 2-3 guitar cabs, snare, whatever)
AKG C451 (x2) SDC (OH, Ac gtr, HH)
Neumann KM84 (x2) SDC(OH, Ac gtr, HH, string section OH)
Sennheiser 421 (x3 toms, guitars, horns, all around)
Sennheiser 441 X1 - perhaps the ultimate dynamic
Coles 4038 or Apex 205 modded by M.Joly (x2) Piano, gtr cabs, vox -retro-, etc.
EV RE20 (kick, horns)
Royer 121 (guitar cab ribbon!!)

That's just a start, but should keep you busy until someone else chimes in....
