Personally i hate the USB mikes. They act as oneway sound cards and this seems to add another clock into the mix and causes timing issues.

I used a Shure clone and a Behringer mixer for years and it worked great later i added a better mixer and a condensor mike (add E instead of O for those who care) for getting a crisper recording sound. But still the old dynamic mikes do work well. I bought three behringer mikes XM8500 $19 each, when i bought the condend(Insert vowel of choice)r mike and i love them three mikes for $60 US. Great in a live situation.

The little Behringer mixer especially the Xenyx version have decent pres and sound pretty good.
