shotgun

Good Evening!A local venue has been using a hanging choir mic to feed their assisted listening system. The mic is now dead and they are researching a replacement. Trying to keep costs under $300. Would you recommend another hanging mic or go with a shotgun? Any help is greatly...

I'm interested in purchasing two shotgun mics to place on either side of our proscenium arch to aid in picking up the ensemble in high school productions hosted at my facility. Any specific suggestions? Thanks in advance!
