Im recording 4/5 piece drums in a pretty nice room (23' X 16' by 10-14' vaulted ceiling). How would y'all recommend I allocate these mics/pres/dynamics to maximum effect (only 8 tracks at once):

Mics:
AKG D112
Audix i5
Audix D4
RODE NT4
2 X Crown CM700
4 X SM57
Neumann U89

Preamps:
Demeter HM-1 tube preamp
Mackie 1202 (pre-VLZ)
MOTU 896HD on-board preamps
ART Tube MP piece 0' crap

Dynamics:
2 channels of FMR Audio RNC
2 channels of FMR Audio RNLA
2 channels of dbx 166

Thanks,
