It's a taste thing, really. I've found that it depends largely on the room you're tracking in. I usually start with figure-eight, as it's a nice balance between the direct kit sound and the room's reflections and either tighten it up by going cardioid or let in more room by going omni, based on what figure-eight sounds like.
Most of the time I just stick with figure-eight, though.
Oh, and consider this another vote for 414s, they're great all-around mics and deadly for rooms.
