I don't know why the location you shoot would influence your editing software choices - you need a decent audio editor like one of the 2 you mentioned as well as your video NLE regardless. And programs/plugins like Ozone Rx can be your best friend.

As for a mic choice, my first try would be a hyper on a boom. A lot of folks here like Oktava as you probably have noticed. A/T 4053a is good, AKG Blueline SE300/CK93 is another, and you can go up from there in budget.

If you don't have a boom operator but do have the boom, get a "boom buddy" aka a gunwale-mount fishing rod holder, <$25 from a boating or sporting goods shop. Use a grip clamp to fasten the holder to the top of a sturdy light stand or Century stand positioned out of frame (sandbags to stabilize the stand!) and use it to hold your boom so as to position the mic at the proper place above the talent. That solves the problem of a mic stand that isn't tall enough to get teh mic over their heads.

I like the boom buddy idea. Ill have to try and find one of those.

Thanks for the suggestions
