Wow! Thanks for all of the replies. As I feared, there are just too many choices/variables.

I see recommendations for SDC's, LDC's and ribbons. Can anyone explain the advantages of any of these over the others for room applications and for other uses as well? How important is it that room mics be matched? How important is it that I use two? Is a mono room useful within a multi mic set up with close mics and stereo OH's? So many questions; I don't even know the right questions to ask...
