Default Best pickup for this Acoustic Guitar?

I have something called an art lutherie canada acoustic guitar (black), and I'm looking for a pickup that costs less than $100 preferably.

I need to connect it to my computer to use with a program.

So is a microphone one best, and any good ones specifically.

I recommend a JJB Prestige 330. A great pickup for a great price (well under $100). I've used it in several guitars, and have loved it! A lot of love on the Forum for this system also. Info here: http://jjb-electronics.com/prestige-330.html

If you decide to go this route, get the 15mm piezos.

I'm going to check this out, too. I've only used a microphone to amplify my acoustic guitars, so I'm also interested in a system like this.

For that budget, I'd recommend the BMG Elevation. Here is their website. I installed one in a Breedlove acoustic and have been very happy with the tone and the excellent customer service.
