I am also a fan of ambisonics and would recommend it highly. I think the be=
st thing about it is that the recording and production format, ie w (omni),=
x,y,z (velocity), is decoupled from the delivery format. Basically you mak=
e your recording and edit it, then render it to the output format you want =
(4 channel planar, 5.1, 7.1, to 8+ channel periphonic) - see the sursound l=
ist for details.
Quite cost-effective sounfdield type mics are available these days (Coresou=
nd Tetramic and the soundfield sp200), which might suit your needs, or you =
can always build one :) (see the micbuilders list).
As for headphones, for field recording I like closed-back versions and the =
Sennheiser the HD25-1 II which I use (not the hd25-SP, a cheaper version), =
which sound excellent and suit location recording, others like the HD380.
Best,
Paul
