Subject: RE: Tech: Wisdom about mics for acoustic group
There is one mic that eclipses the mics you mentioned.

The Audix SCX-25A: SCX25A

When working with a mic like that, you'll also need a good EQ between your mixer and your amplifier. I'd recommend this DBX unit: AFS-2 (I'm using it's predecessor, the AFS-224)
Working without this and/or trying to use monitor speakers will ruin your sound.

For over 9 years now I've been using 2 or sometimes even 3 SCX-25As on stage and we couldn't be happier: HiFi sound quality and freedom to move. Two birds, one stone.
Soundchecks usually last 2 minutes.
