Sen. 416 is the classic, and for ADR too. The reason a shotgun is often used is not because everybody loves the sound so much, but more for matching into production audio. Of course there are always other choices available as well to cover varying needs.

These mics or similar (416, 816, the Neumann, and Schoeps too) are being used on set during production, so using them in post means the sounds will match in much easier and you (or your mixer) will spend less time trying process the square peg to fit in the round hole. Less work, better mix... what's to complain about?
