M5 MP : For this price, no question
The MP5 are robust and do not need to be treated with kid gloves.
I have used these a lot for various applications. For speech, stringed instruments, as overhead mics and more.
They have rather good side rejection for mics of this size.
The only con I can think of is that they are kind of mid rangy (if that is a word), lack the sparkle that a small diaphragm Neumann (or similar) of this type has.
But the bottomline is that if you are on a budget or need mics for situations where stuff happens and you do not want to risk you fancy crazy expensive mics, this is a solid offering.
