David,
I would consider using a DI box.. You may also wish to consider miking an
amp, even an SM57 sounds great. A nice recording amp with a powerbrake will
sound like a stack at full blow on 2.
as for splitting the signal, it's a decent idea, in a perfect guitar setup
you want to record a DI box and a mike on different tracks so that later you
can go back and 'reamp' or 'remike' your dry signal by running it through an
amp/mike and rerecording it if the original amped track proves troublesome.
if you have noise contraints, I'd suggest at the very least a DI box.
