kick/sn OR overheads with 2ch ADC?

And please don't say toms

I bought a Mytek 96k stereo converter and I'm wondering what opinions are as for what I should use it on when miking a kit.

For preamps I have:

Chandler TG2
GT Brick
M-Audio DMP3
8 stock pre's on my presonus firepod

I'm thinking of doing the kick and snare since I'll be using dynamic mics and they seem like they'd get the most out of my TG2, and I want to use that with the ADC, I think. Kick and snare seem more important in the mix, BUT maybe the highs on the cymbals will sound shrill from lesser converters? The 2 losers go through DMP3 pre's and the ultimate losers go through the stock pre's

Advice?

if it was me I would use the good stuff on the overheads because you will be getting a picture of the whole kit...maybe the brick on the kick and the firepod for the rest. That tg2 would sound very nice on kick and snare as well though...try both and see what you like.
