Mackie's 1604 and 1642 are great, but they're about $750 and $850. The CFX 12 and CFX 16 are decent; same Mackie pre's, but somewhat awkward routing. Spirits (by Soundcraft) are good, too.
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

It's a church with a mixer from the 70's any mic pre would do.
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

What kind is it? Some of those old beater consoles have really good pre's for recording, just need cleaned and refurbished...
Anyways, a Mackie CFX 16 would probably work out well for you:
