You’re overthinking this and don’t have a large budget. You can do it all with what’s in your daw and a limiter if the music, performance, and recording are good enough. Before renting gear buy new strings, drumheads, and coffee! I would also rent an adat interface to have more mics on the kit if the performance isn’t up to par and overheads aren’t great. Use them to fill in the overheads. If he can’t play the kit well that day, you can play the faders. That was one of my prime contenders... renting a ADAT to get some more tracks in. My reasoning was similar but slightly different which is that I'd like to be able to have the option to keep scratch tracks. Right now I sub-mix scratch tracks down to one channel which makes them pretty useless unless we get REALLY lucky.

Rent some of the RND stuff (5012, 5015, 5043)...a good tube pre (or two); the LA2A and an 1176. What mics you plannin' on using? Good question. Probably SM7 for vocals but I'm going to audition a bunch of other stuff as well. Neumann 102 and Beyer m88 also in the running. I personally like a 57 on acoustic (I like the woody sound) so I don't overthink that too much and then I use a Beyer m160 on a lot of stuff (overheads for example). Royer R10 might make it out for guitar cabs but lately the m160 has been the guy there. Oktava 012's might get used but I haven't busted them out in a while. Lots of other mics I don't use often... so primarily the following... 57 m88 SM7 m160 102 TLM R10 That oughta get the job done! I'm a big fan of the M160 here, too. A most versatile receiver. The SM7 paired with a Neve-ish thing would be great on vocals. I didn't see a Great River MP on the list of available rentals. That would be a nice pairing. Germ pre with the 57 might be real nice on some instrument applications. Enjoy yourselves above all else. That's the kind of vibe that can make for some magic. We're always after at least a little of that! ETA: A Chandler TG pre of some description would be nice to look into for anything you might record.
