Use 2 mics in XY:

Why?
Because the OP wants an get a stereo mix of a jam session easily
without phase issues. Plus he already has an audio interface with 2
mic pres.
Ahh, so 2 channels is the way to go? I'd love to be able to change the
relative volume of the instruments afterwards as i've got a habit of
playing a little too loud vs the lead singer ;) Also our lead
guitarist is often way too quiet. Though if everyone has there own mic
i guess you get strange phase effects? A pair of condensers is best?
Non-matched ok?
The community is really good for advice but if you're unfamiliar with
recording and such I suggest you read something. As you're a swede (no pun
intended) there is a really nice compilation of recording articles in the
monthly magazine "Studio". Unfortunatly there is just a pdf left. But here it
is. I bought it just out of curiosity a few years ago and it was very nice
reading.

PS. They have another nice compilation of articles, about mixing.
