As much as I like fig-8 ribbons, I'd go as directional as possible in a situation like this. I'd also recommend dynamics instead of condensers.
Mics that come to mind- Beyer M160, M88, Sennheiser MD441 are all top contenders.
Depending on the situation, a lav or other clip-on mic can work well, too- mount it close to the instrument. This is the only time I'd consider condensers. For clarinet- I like a DPA 4061 mounted on the performers chest, flute- a DPA 4066 headset with the mic on the right side by the instrument. I think the new 4099 also looks quite cool, but I have not personally tried it yet.
