I like a lot of different mics on overheads. Can't really pick a favorite.

Favorite for use in a really good room: Earthworks TC30K

I was thinking the same thing, but girlfriend's a C, so....

The best I've worked with so far are 414's, but I know there are better ones out there.

I think cardioids are generally used for overheads, though I've heard of omni's being used as well. As for my favorite? Currently I'm using a pair of MXL 603's, but I after my self-imposed ban on buying new mics is over, I think I want to try a pair of Oktava MC-012's.
