| A main stereo pair can be a really good idea. It usually captures a good basic sound, especially for the drums. You also mentioned it was a good room, so capturing some of the natural ambience would be cool.
You could do the omni's in a stereo pair, and then mic the guitar amp and then mic AND take a DI from the bass. Add a mic to the snare for detail and something in front of the kick for a little extra bottom and you'd be in good shape, so:
Averson's in front
Ribbon on guitar
414 on bass
Audix on snare
MXL in front of kick
This would give you a lot of mixing options and wouldn't shouldn't leave you missing anything. Just an alternate approach, AJFarber's plan would work great too.
