I want to mic my banjo and resonator Guitar wirelessly. I'm thinking that the D model being a condensor mic with guitar plug would work with a wireless set up. Correct?

The D model is dynamic, not condensor, but that's what ought to work with a wireless setup made for a magnetic guitar pickup-- if the impedance and signal levels match up correctly. I've never used a wireless for performance, but I know that an electric guitar does put out a lot hotter signal than a dynamic mic, so you'd want to make sure the wireless is quiet enough that you wind up with a usable s/n ratio. The GoldTone condensor needs phantom power, but there are other mini condensor mics with an onboard battery which will give a higher level signal, which might work better with whatever wireless guitar rig you've got.
I'd recommend an omnidirectional mic over a cardioid when the mic is that close to the instrument. The cardioid won't give much better feedback rejection in that situation-- house and monitor sound will be reflected off the head into the front of the mic at nearly the same level as it will hit the back of the mic. Also, an omni mic will have a flatter frequency response, as it lacks the cardioid's proximity effect.
