Most people tend to lean toward a single stereo pair for the brass... yick! Maybe for the old-school big band sound, but pretty much all contemporary big band albums nowadays use close mics alongside a stereo pair for brass.
Last couple sessions at Capitol I've seen
2 RCA 44 ribbons split between the 4 trumpets
4 RCA 44 ribbons, one on each bone
5 U67's, one on each sax.
Also had really good luck with 2 R121s on the trumpets
4 RE-20s on bones
and whatever nice LDCs you have for saxes.
The worst bleed problems I've had were horns/drums into the piano, and horns into drums.
Sorry for the quick response... gotta run
