SM57 would be my first choice. Use your ears to get a placement. Also, matching the amp to the room is quite a chore. A quick and dirty way to get it done is to get the amp volume at the lowest level to get the quality of sound that you want coming out of the amp itself. Get the amp off the floor as well.

i dont know which mic to use to record guitar, we play metal and ya.. all i have is...
MXL 770, Sm57, d112, MCA sp1, Audix I5

Absolutely hands down a Groove Tubes GT-44 with no reservations at all. The best guitar cab mic I have ever used (and I have all the high end usual suspects). This mic is very focused in it's sound and sits in the mix like it was nailed to your monitors.
 
OOps, sorry, if all you have are these mics, then the 57 is all you have.
