if i had to choose between those, i'd go for a U87. with the nice
pre's they are total work horses.

Not only that, but people with the money know what a U87 is. Back
before the microphone revolution, the fact that I had U87s (and
everyone else in my price range was using PA mics and maybe an SM81)
got me gigs. Today that might not be the case, however.
