"decent" all depends on your budget. If the most you can afford is <$100, then they're probably the best. If you've got thousands to spend, then no, definitely not.
As far as setting levels, that will vary from show to show and venue to venue. What type of music will you be taping? What size venues? How close to the stacks will you be? All of those things have to be taken into consideration.
