Which Aston Mics are you using? I've considered buying a Zoom H6 for recording flute, but haven't gotten around to it. I was thinking of buying one and maybe an SM57 (I just haven't gotten around to buying anything).
The XY mics on the H4/5/6 are wonky in the high end.
If you get an H5/6, get a microphone to plug into it. The SM57 is good for stage, but it doesn't sound good for many applications. It has a giant boost at roughly 4 khz, but it's not a smooth boost. If you want vocals that sound like Tom Petty, then the 57 is your ticket

I have an SM81, which is quiet, detailed, and flat. If you want to make an accurate recording of anything, it's hard to beat an SM81.
I don't have any ribbons, but from what I hear, they have specific needs WRT preamps. Might not pair well with H4/5/6
