For decent function, it seems that the SM58 is a good bang for the buck, but I sure like the look of a vintage style mic, and there are some nice ones out there. I think a Sinatra or Elvis style mic classes things up visually and adds to the act. Here are a bunch, and I think one or more are among those that Monkus noted.
