I've been using a LineAudio CM3 mounted on the guitar via a H-Clamp, and I love it. It even worked fine in a "gig-from-hell" situation—hotel hallway buffet with 200+ chatty people, I could hear them through my amp, but I was able to provide background music without feedback).
On a dedicated stage and solo it's just stellar. It runs fine off the 18v of my Headway, which also offers me a 5 band eq and notch filter. I'm adding a DTAR equinox to the mix soon to help with further feedback control, but I think it might be overkill.
I've never been happier with my acoustic tone. If you play solo, to me, it's the way to go. Might add back a contact pickup (Ehrlund?) for future gig-from-hell situations, but as I said the mic got me through it fine this time.
