I use m-s a lot for live recording and ALWAYS track each mic to its own channel. I then matrix it ITB (box or board). This gives you a ton of control over the image - width can be wide or narrow. You can also dial in more or less of the room, and by the same token more or less of the source. The word is flexibility!
