You should get some interesting responses to this question!
My advice - spend just a little more money and get yourself a Sennheiser MD421. It's extremely versatile, rugged, sounds excellent. Around $300 new.
Another great mic (more in your price range) is the Shure SM57. Can be used for everything. Very rugged. Around $80-90.

Studio Projects C1 Condenser Microphone street price around $199 http://www.macmidimusic.com/prod.itml/icOid/3896http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/C1Mic/Have a read of the review hereQuote from review: "At the very least the C1 is a tremendous value for the project studio, and with a street price around $200 is certainly the best sounding $200 studio vocal mic ever made. And it should be a real wake-up call to the German mic companies who persist in selling their mics at a premium price." Also reviewed hereI've used the mic and it's definitely one of the best I've heard for the price.

I agree with the SM57 choice. It is extremely versatile. It is a great instrument mic and works well for vocals (though I prefer a SM58). In addition, they are built very rugged and are essential for the gigging artist. Also, unlike condenser mics they do not require phantom power. Most importantly, they are easy on your check book!
My suggestion: Go to your local music store and try various mics out in your price range. A great start would be checking out the mics suggested to you in this forum.
Good luck,
KC
