What head type for hall mic?

I want to capture the sound of the hall by pointing a mic towards the audience (opposite the source), and wondering what kind of mic I should use to do that? A small diaphragm condenser cardiod? How about an omni on the same mic? Would large diaphragm not work? Please enlighten...
 
well, a cardioid if you want what is in front, or an omni for everything? It depends on what exactly you wish to capture and what for? A large diaphragm would be fine too - for most things I can think of.
 
I want to capture the reverb of the hall to add to the far and the spot mics capture, so I don't have to use artificial reverb (which I don't like).
