Up until a few weeks ago I was using Behringer C-3 Mics which run about $60. They are a condenser mic so they need phantom power. Recently on the recommendation of Mike Phillips (the Yoda of audio) and Joe deMax I switched to the At2005USB from Audio Technica. These mics sound great for the price ($81). I recommend that you go to your local music store and try the mics and find the one that best suits your voice.
