Default Pickup + Mic combo well suited to Sunnaudio MS-2?

So I am in line at Sunnaudio for a MS-2 once they're in production (sold out now). What I don't have is a well-suited pickup + mic combo for it. I have a Boucher OM (rosewood) in the works so that system will go in that guitar. Any suggestions welcome (but shipping the guitar out to Calif is not viable like some do).

I think most would recommend a Dazzo with a mic like DPA or AKG

Exactly:
Dazzo + DPA4061 is what I used - perfect !
K&K + K&K-Trinity-mic - fine

I think the MS-2 will work on any combo, but the best I had is Dazzo/DPA - and that's not depending on the preamp.

I've used the MS-2 with Dazzo, K&K, Barbera, and Trance. All work well. I generally use the Audix L5O mic with any of them, tho I have a couple of other mics in a few guitars. Even Sunnaudio's "experimenters" mic reportedly works well - tho I haven't tried it. I prefer the Audix to the DPA because it's a lot easier to work with - larger, more solder-friendly wires, and it's "just" $199 besides.
