I have AT2035 and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. A very good quality combo, no complaints so far.

As I understand Rode M5 is actually a pair of mics for stereo recording and AT2020 is a cardiod condenser that would obviously only give you mono, so two different things. I originally wanted to buy AT2020, only heard good things about it, apparently unbeatable in it's price category, however my source was out of stock, so instead of waiting I went for a slightly higher model AT2035.
