What to buy. please advise

Me and my friend are trying to get a basic home studio thrown together. however due to the fact of both of us being fairly new to recording tequnique, equipment, software etc, we need a bit of help. i need advise on a mic. we play any genre type from death metal to rock and punk and need a vocal studio mic to get a real good, clean, clear sound.

Power amp for Peavey Sp2

We just got 2 peavey sp2. And for now we use my Tapco J1400 power amp. This is my bass back up amp. And it is not that loud. What amp would you suggest for these speakers.

Sp2s:
RMS 500watts
Program 1000 wats
Peak 2000

P.S. We are thinking about adding 2 subs and an amp to run them may be next year and use it to run our own shows.

recording live

Our worship band is doing a Friday night thing tomorrow and I am going to record it and I need to keep it simple. My plan was to use an m-s setup with an AKG 414 and one other mic( i have to see what I have over there). I probably won't be able to set it up very close to the stage. The style is sort of rock(guitars drums bass). The room is fairly large, with seating for probably 1500.
