I suppose there are some definite no-no's, but in general everything is subjective. But of course one way or another might get you a better result, but a lot of times (here at least) there is no extensive mic checks and stuff.
This is a lot of what I deal with too...and usually it turns out ok. I will be experimenting this weekend with the pair of MK319's I just acquired set up as room mics and put my usual room mics (414's) on the guitar cabinets (as well as a 57) to see how it comes out...hopefully it doesn't suck.
