Mic shootout / guessing game

[Skaldir]

Yesterday I tested a bunch of my mics on my 4x12 to see which sounds best.
The mic position was always the same and its amazing how different each mic sounds, so I thought I should share it with you and make a mic guessing game

The 8 mics that were used (in different order):

Shure Sm57
Shure Sm7b
Audio Technica 4050
Audix i5
Grundig GDM313
AKG D321
Behringer Measurement Mic
Beyer M55

I already choose a combination, but I would like to know which you like best or which is the least worst

1, 3 and 8 would be a hell of a combination

6(Audix i5) was the one that sounded best to me.

I liked 3 and 4 a lot. 2 and 8 sounded terrible to me.

The audix i5 is actually pretty unique sounding
I have the Audix OM3
Wonder how much they differ from the i5
Has anybody recorded any amp cabs or drums with the OM3 before?

Here's what I ended up with double tracked in a full mix

Not really much guitar technique involved, not the best example i guess lol
Double tracked... which mic combinations??
