which mic and pre for which drum

Im gonna be recording some rock drums here in the next couple weeks. The room is pretty big horizontally but the ceilings are not. Im going for a fat and intimate vibe. Kinda like pink floyd the wall drums or early 80's funk. But a couple songs should have a more roomy sound so i definately want a room mic.

Please dont suggest anthing thats not on my list. Im not looking for purchase recommendations. Im just trying to get someone elses opinion on which mic should go into which pre on which drum. I'll probably just record a bunch of different combinations and see what hapens. Obviously i only have 7 pres with good conversion so 2 items will have to be ran through my behringer ada8000. In your opinion which are the least 2 important instruments. This setup is my first instinct.

kick- re20 or d112? - Neve 1272 - rme a/d
FOK- AT4033 - neve 1272- rme a/d
snare - sm57 or audix i5- SCA A12 (api wannabee) - rme
hat - 57 or beyer m400 - behringer
tom - 421 - symetrix - rme
floor - 421 - symetrix - rme
OH's - AT4047's - rnp - rme
room - studio projects T3 (omni?cardioid?) - behringer

The 4047's are the only PAIR of condensers i own hence the obvious choice for OH's.
