To give you a general answer, and something to think about... I would say, if you see the classical guitar being at the forefront of the songs, you should think about recording it in stereo.
From there, you can think about mic choice. When I go to record acoustic guitar, if it's going to be a keeper track and it will be at the forefront of a song, I use my two AT4040s. One pointed at the 12th fret, one pointed at the bridge, and I've gotten great results with that. If I just want to use one mic, I just point the one at the 12th fret and call it a day. If the song will be a big rock song and the acoustic is just supposed to be a texture, a lot of times I'll just mic it with an sm57 or sm7 (a flat dynamic that i can eq however the song dictates), close up.
