{Paul): "to sum up. What Microphone would give me something really sensitive and clear for recording. I don't need giant reputation. Just big on quality and performance."(Inmate): For recording, there are many good mics. Depending on the environment (nightclub versus home or studio, for example), you may want either an omnidirectional or a directional mic. Depending on the placement of the mic and the instrument being recorded (and the sound you want), you may want either a dynamic or a condenser mic.
So, this is not a simple question. For me, excluding special circumstances (noisy environment or extremely loud instrument), my first choice is a good omnidirectional condenser. Very good ones can be had for several hundred dollars, and the best ones are about $700 - $3,000 dollars. AKG, Audio-Technica, Neumann, Schoeps, Sennheiser, and Shure are all good bets. (In alphabetical order.) The top mics that I own are Schoeps (currently about $1,500), and I've rarely needed anything more than them, unless someone's ego is an issue.
Regarding your reputation. Your microphone is key to producing the sound you want. But, it's your management, presence, and talent which determines your reputation.
