video conference mic

[Benjaminj1]

Can anybody advise me which is the best type of mic to use in a video conference room. I would like to have the mic hanging from the ceiling.
The room size normally average about 5m x 5m. Is there a mic that would cover at least a raduis of 2m . All sound reinforsment in the room is being directed through ceiling speakers.

Is this for recording purposes or for video conferencing? Is this going to be a conference table style of conference room or more like auditorium style? How are seats going to be laid out?
