Azden is good and they make a model under $150. I use a schriber acoustic SA-568 (?). I got a whole kit: hard case, soft case, foam windscreen, shoe mount, XLR-to-XLR cable, XLR-to-Mini adapter, and a Mini-to-Phono adapter all for around $120. Go to http://www.nrgresearch.com and look under “audio”. Other good brands but they might cost more are Rode, Sennheiser, and Audio Technica.
