Whats better for live usage. A cardioid dynamic mic or a super-cardioid dynamic?

Specifically the sennheiser E 835 Vs the E845 or E865 Super's

I just did some light reading and some say the 845 is prone to feedback? The vocalist in the band i work for uses this system but i dont know which mic he has? Im thinking the 835 and i always fight feedback with his mic at higher SPL's. No matter what i do. I read they really pick up background noise which i can say does happen alot with his mic.

Thanks
