Where in the chain, do I place my meter?

I just purchased a Logitek outboard LED meter -- 4 channel (as in two stereo metered pairs).

On one pair, I want to meter the outputs of a hardware synth or other analog source before my outboard mixer (which has no meter).
On the other remaining meter inputs, I want to meter the mixer's output. .before it reaches my DAW's soundcard.

QUESTIONS:

Stereo Placement

I am starting a new project and would like some suggestions. I am recording tracks that I plan on playing live at coffee houses, and want them to sound very similar (but not exactly) on CD as they will live. I also want the mixes to sound good in their own right, and have been unable to find any commercial examples of the setup I intend to use.

Problem solving - microphone selection or placement

As I posted in a different post in this section I am doing a radio show and the star of that show is a 1928 Wurlitzer Pipe organ. The organ console sits in a hall and all the pipes are located in the basement. The sound arrives at the hall though grates in the floor of the hall (2.5 feet wide and about 20 feet long) .
