"which mic?"(yes, with explanation)

It's for a personal project of mine and a friend where we interview people very much so in the way we did here (don't mind the political content):

The project is one of those "who know what might become out of this?" thus has no budget and no schedule so hiring a sound man won't work at the same time i don't want to spend $60 each time i want to record audio.

The audio goes into one of those Beachtek boxes into a Canon HV20 camera so i need a mic with battery power.

My needs fall under the kit #3 from "New to audio" sticky the only difference being that most of the stuff (say 70%) will be recorded outside while the other 30% indoor.

Kit #3: Web Short Film Producer Kit
Who It's For: People putting together short films, primarily indoors, and looking to cut corners where possible to save money but still want decent results.
Includes:
Oktava MK012 w/ Hyper Cardiod Cap ($180),
High Wind Screen ($50),
Sambra Shockmount ($50),
Gitzo 10' Boompole ($120).
Total Cost: $400

another person recomended the following:
1x - Rode NTG2 Shotgun, cable, & shockmount from www.bhphoto.com ($250)
1x - Rycote Softie for NTG2from www.bhphoto.com ($99)
1x - Sound-Room Shockmount from www.sound-room.com ($50)
1x 20' XLR Microphone Cable ($75)
1x Gitzo 12' Aluminum boompole from www.evsonline.com ($159)
Total Cost: $685



So putting those 2 together i came up with:
Rode NTG2 with shockmount ($280)
