As previously stated Blue Yeti or snowball, I have the snowball and my only gripe with it is it picks up everything and I mean EVERYTHING, so I'd go with the Yeti. Either one will work, but if you plan on doing skype calls the snowball can be a nuisance. I have the cheaper model I think, the one with the plastic stand (which sucks) not sure if the actual mic is any different than the more expensive model.
