Well since you seem to already know the answers to the questions you are asking,
The sanctimonious twit who does this for a living will just say,
Good Luck with your shoot! -
What I am using is a little more than just meters, but the cost is not that dramatic.
Have a look at the Central Station by PreSonus. -
If budget isn’t a problem, since you are renting,
why not also “rent” an audio engineer and record the audio properly
rather than just hanging a stationary mic overhead, as the sound quality will be less than pleasant.Lav mics on each person run through a mixer would be optimal.
Or an A-2 on the boom pole with a shotgun. -
[Bret Williams] “OT- am I the only person that feels compelled to crank the brightness on the TV when the interview someone in silouhette?”
The thought I always had was, what’s stopping the bad guys from pitch shifting the audio back up to find out who ratted them out?

Do you own any microphones now, if so what?
If not, what is your budget to spend on a solution?
Will the intended mic remain stationary on the boom, or will an A-2 move the mic over each person as they talk? -
Ahhh, create a black rectangle and place it on a video layer above your footage,
and then pitch shift the voice down. -
IMHO they are not worth the trouble.
The 100 watts of power you are limited to will give you about a 3 mile broadcast radius,
and they are for non-commercial use only, so you could not sell advertising or such to make any income.Internet broadcasting is all together a different animal.

[Greg] “however, have a large university with several campuses and many decision-makers; we need the option of editing the video until all are satisfied”
Makes me flash-back to the time I was doing a VO for a client out of state.
We setup the phone patch for the two producers in one city, and conference in the other three in a different city.
Everyone said hello and they proceeded to tell me their thoughts on the direction of the read they wanted.
So I go through a take, and the engineer says, well what do you think?
And from the couple of conference speaker phones we hear…
#1 Perfect just what I was looking for, #2 No I like the way you sound on your demo better,
#3 well the front half sounded good but then you lost the energy, #4 No the front half sounded bland but then picked up and finished strong, #5 I thought the front and back sucked but the middle was great.I just love multiple decision makers!

As Noah said, being a little more specific would help.
But off the top of my head, rent fast lenes, and pay attention to your lighting.
