I used to stream on twitch, and the Logitech C910 was my daily driver. I still use it for video chat and as a back up mic for teleconferencing, and I love it. For video, it's pretty much overkill with it's 1080p video capture, but it just makes it that much better.

 

As far as I've read, the C920 you're looking at is pretty much just a straight refresh, and it's cheaper than a C910, so I'd recommend going that route. Just from experience.

I'm looking for a good webcam to use for Hangouts and maybe some really basic vlogging type stuff. 

I did some basic googling and got these as recommendations: amzn.com/B006JH8T3S and amzn.com/B003LVZO8S
 

Though they look fine to me I'd prefer to get an opinion from the awesome people in the Linus tech tips community for this, I'd prefer something that both looks good (Preferably black) and will last me a good long while.

I use the C310, and I really like it. It's affordable, and has good enough image/video quality for my use. The internal mic is also pretty good if you do not have a separate dedicated mic.

Okay cool, I'm liking the price on it, and I don't really care for the mic because I have a pretty good audio set up already.
