Let me get this straight, you have a hard-panelled 20'x30'x16' room and you even consider using artificial reverb?!? What is wrong with this picture?
Beg, borrow, or rent a good omni condenser mic and use it for the "effects" on everything. Play around with placement until you find a spot which works.
Definately mic the amps at least 2' away (possibly combined with a 57 on the grill.)
Natural space is what separates great studio recordings from 'home' studio recordings. You have the space, please use it.
BTW There's nothing wrong with a 57 on vocals. They don't have quite the 'presence' of a 58, and you won't get the brilliance and detail of a top condenser mic. But, I know quite a few male blues singers who sound excellent with a 57.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
