Choosing between 4 USB mics

Currently can't decide between these four mics, for commentary and VOIP uses. In no particular order:

Shure PG42-USB (shure.com/americas/products/microphones/pg/pg42-usb-vocal-microphone)

Blue Spark Digital (bluemic.com/spark_digital)

MXL USB.009 (mxlmics.com/microphones/usb/009)

Audio-Technica AT2020 USB+ (audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/5879a6ca22e5aa7e/index.html)

As I said, only for commentary and voice communication, no vocals or instruments. In rough order of what I care about, from greatest to least: sound quality, features, build quality, price, looks. I of course narrowed it down to these mics for various reasons. I found the Shure because of a recommended review that praised it for its audio quality. I found the Spark Digital because I have bought from Blue before, and I know they are great. Finally, I found the MXL and AT2020 because of YouTubers I watch, and I know the sound quality is good. Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy them all, try them, and sell the ones I didn't prefer, so I came here.
