Brian,

The lower the amount of dB's given for the noise, the better that 
amount is: if mic A has 6 dB selfnoise and mic B has 9 dB selfnoise 
than mic B produces the loudest (noise)signal and therefor has the 
loudest noise at low levels.

Note, I only answered your question, there are a lot of other issues 
regarding these and other figures that I didn't deal with right now.

Regards, Evert
