Tom/Snare micing

[carvedones]

Ok i have a SM57 and a I5 nic.
War thinking of getting another of each and micinh snare and toms with them in either of :
Snare : SM57
Tom 1 : I5
Tom 2 : I5
Tom 3 : SM57

OR

Snare : I5
Tom 1 : SM57
Tom 2 : SM57
Tom 3 : I5

What way would you go?

I am also getting a D6 for the kick.
Im on a limited budget or i might get 22 and a D4

sm57 or i5 on snare top
sm57 on snare bottom (would NEVER omit that)
D2 on racktoms
D4 on floor

you should just pick up the DP-5A pack...they go for around $550-600, and include the i5, 2 D2's, a D4, and D6
