The options will thus be:

Rode NT1A
Rode NT2A
Shure SM57
Shure SM58
AT3035

Will any of these cut it in a pinch or am I going to have to resort to laying in some kick samples to fill things out?
You should use either the 57 or 58 inside the hole for the snap and the tlm 103 outside to catch some of the air. record them on seperate tracks and blend them in when you mix. Just watch for phasing.
