That thread contains everything you would ever want to know about microphones. Condenser mics are used for many studio applications and some live applications. Dynamic mics also have their places in both studio and live use. As for the other questions, the "search" feature of the board, in addition to the sticky threads, will yield a wealth of information. "what mics and techniques do you use for everything?" is far too vague of a question. More specific questions may get you better answers.
