Depends on what you want to do.  Until recently I've always preferred 
miking my amps. Have you seen Gerald Weber's new book?  A desktop 
reference of hip vintage guitar amps.  On page 218 he describes a 
resistor network that attaches to the speaker terminals and has a 1/4" 
phone jack on the other end.  I've been using this lately on my 59 
Bassman with good results.  The tone seems purer, more like the amp 
sounds by itself.  The other benefit of course is no feedback problems 
from the pa mic.  If you play through tube amplifiers I cannot reccommend 
this book enough.  It's available from Kendrick amplifiers (512)990-5486
