Best Guitar Amp to Record With?

I am looking for a great guitar amp that I can keep in my studio for bands that arrive with cheap amps. I know that the answer to my question is probably "depends on what sound you are going for." So I should mention I would like to find a great guitar amp that is tube based and has a lot of flexibility. However, the majority of the bands that I record are basic rock bands.

Experimenting with mic techniques on a guitar amp

Could anyone tell me if Micing a cabnet with lets say 2 mics (in this case 1 dynamic & 1 condenser), would it yield any substantial sonic results? Also with such a setup, would it be wise to set the EQ for each mic to a different setting or not a all? And finally, after all of this, would going to dedicated pre's be better than going to the cabinet or doing both be better?
