microphone pair for soundscapes recording

Hi all,
        I'm not an exert in microphones and I'd like to start recording 
soundscapes and animal voices. Other than using ultradirectional mics I 
already have, I'd like to have a pair of condenser microphones with flat 
response, good sensitivity and very low noise as I don't want to hear hisses.

Also, I don't want to spend a fortune...
By looking on Bayviewpro I found the following cardioid mics, offered in pairs:

AKG C1000S at 279$
RODE NT5 at 299$
Cascada M1 at 149$

Do you have any experience with these mics ? Could you suggest a good 
choice among these or suggest alternatives, maybe with omnidirectional models ?

After choising the mics I'll also need advice about experimenting different 
techinques. I'll start with binaural recordings... but then I'll need your 
help!

All the best,
Gianni

PS: for recording I'll use and compare laptop recording through the Roland 
UA5, laptop and PDA recording with the complete core-sound system, and Sony 
TCD7 recording...
