One mic will work fine, I personally would put up two becuase I like the stereo image. They can be omni mics, two mics would give you a little more versatility. If you got a large diaphragm that would give you the option of vocals in the future. I love the earthworks, they are great mikes. But here are a few suggestions:

Earthworks
Neumann M149
Schoeps
SE Z5600A (9 polar patterns; tube; warm with a clean top end; $750)
