Everybody should have at least one good dynamic mic!
I've got a Sennheiser 421.  An EV RE-20 would be even nicer.

Didn't think of that. 
Balloon pops probably have some coloration, but they're much stronger and
probably less colored than handclaps...  I don't have a spark-gap
generator--I don't even know what it is really, but I've heard
those are the "proper" tool for acoustic impulses.

The problem with balloons is you have to keep blowing up more
as each one is only good for one go :)
