I like the small diaphragm used in a M/S config w/the small D pointed straight at the neck/guitar. The Side mic is turned figure 8 per the procedure outlined.  With good mics and good amps, you can capture a really nice warm and wide acoustic guitar performance.

Do any of you have any specifics in mind for miking classical guitars?

No, but this technique works really well for acoustic guitar.

I use it when ever I record acoustic instruments, which includes guitar, dobro, mandolin. And flip it around to control left vs. right. Really good stuff...
