I gotta say man... and I am not trying to be a d*ck or anything.
First without the rest of the tracks, drums, bass, vox, bagpipes how do we know what the hell the best sounding mic and pre is?
Second, these don't sound exactly level matched to me but I did not pull them into my DAW to check. Without exact levels there are going to be differences in the perception of what is "best".
Lastly the pre that you should record with is the pre that
you like the sound of with the rest of the mix and what puts a smile on
your face ya know? If you want someone to produce the project then hire them and let them make that call. If you are producing the project then step up to the plate and make the pick yourself.
Honestly all of these tracks sound good, you are doing a good job in that department so I would not sweat it. If you want to learn a bit about the decision that you are making grab another 57 (they are cheap in comparison) and track the two that you like the most right now. Come mix time see if the one that you liked during tracking is still your favorite and ask why or why not, that will go a LONG way to helping you make this decision on the next tracking session right?
Not trying to talk down to you or anything, nice gear and good sounds. I just think we all should rely a little less on random people on the Internet and more on our gut feelings about things. At the end of the day screw what everyone else thinks and go with what you like....
