sm57s and 58s are good workhorse dynamic mics. If you are going to buy a new one, might as well get something different -- I would vote for a condenser mic.

I googled "best $200 condenser mic" and got these links:

http://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/186884-best-condenser-mic-under-200-a.html

...and there are a bunch of other links. I have an sm58 and my cheapo MXL v63m out performs it on my vocals. Go condenser all the way!!
