The mic that all the mic-geeks are currently all excited and raving about is the Warbler:

If you have a naturally bright and articulate voice then I think the Warbler original and the Warber IV are the ones to go for.

I'm personally really into dynamic mice these days, such as the aforementioned Beyerdynamic M69 and M88, though I also really like the EVRE20. But that's mainly because I like 'dark' mics and because I hate the sound of my voice - it always sounds really thin to me.

If you wanted to go for a tube mic, then the M-Audio Sputnik is a real bargain secondhand. It sounds better to me than plenty of mega-expensive tube mics. Keep an eye out on eBay. However, I find tube mics a pain in the ass, as the valve in them will eventually need replacing; plus they always come in such massive cases; plus you have to plug 'em in and warm 'em up each time...
