get as many good to decent mics that u can.
BLUE makes great stuff for the price. Sennheiser e609 or Shure SM7 for electric guitars are good. the 414 is not to be discounted though, it's awesome in itself. a matched pair of Rode NT5's in stereo would sound great for acoustic as well, or drum overheads.

and also preamps.
Solo brick. anything by API or SSL. be prepared to spend some money on these and don't overlook the power of a great preamp. bad ones sound bad. good ones CAN sound good if used correctly.

And plugins. if ur doing ur mixing/post "in the box" then you should look into some good preamps. Waves makes great stuff, they are pretty much all I use.

good luck!
