Specifically, Martin Thinline Gold. That's the high-end. Don't forget
that the Martin is actually made by Fishman. I've also heard good things
about Highlander, and B-Band.

SansAmp Acoustic DI is my favored.

Heh. Forever is a looong time ;-) Any instrument with a sound chamber is
going to feedback at sufficient volume levels. The bigger the air
chamber and the louder the volume, the more likelihood of feedback. Now
most modern A/E guitars are relatively feedback resistant, but there is
no such thing as feedback proof.
Personally, I'd imagine that a strat with a power bridge would be the
ultimate way to go volume and flexibility-wise.
