I use for the O.Hs (the last year) a Neumann Stereo Mic (SM 69 fet) and ofcourse X/Y.
What you think about that?
By the way I didn' t notice a diskution for X/Y mic technique. Nobody loves it?
In some Studios I saw 3 Mics for the O.Hs L/R and one in the middle.

To sum it up... it just depends on how and where in the mix I think it will sit and how many mix options I may want to consider
