I agree with DonM that I personally also have had greater success with condenser mics for better sound quality. The key is proper control through mixer, and the appropriate use of compression to prevent signal overloading. Condenser mics are primarily used in studio environment but there are more and more stage condenser mics arriving at the market. Dynamic microphones are much more rugged in construction but most of them are not hot enough (that's why Uncle Dave and Scott Yee recommended Donny and us the hot EV ND767). I now only buy condenser mics for song leaders at my church to get better sound pick-up since we have trained very good mix console operators (have not tried the EV ND767 yet, will try it soon).
