I listed to the kick and snare clips.
I'll start with the argument against my position. The clips should be mixed as close to the final context as possible, which is kind of how it sounds to me.
What I found was that in some cases, there wasn't much difference until you hear the solo'd mic. So maybe that's the lesson - that the mic makes almost no difference.
However, if you're trying to highlight the differences in the sounds, less OH/room will help, and it imposes your taste a little less.
Also, for my taste, I'd rather hear the solo'd mic at the top.
