Shure BLX is decent if you're on a budget. Just don't use PG58 heads, stick with SM58's. There's no reason the PG58 should sound as bad as it does, but it does.
As you start moving up the wireless "ladder" with Shure, features and quality get better. Loox at BLX on the low end, GLX in the middle, QLX getting near the top, and ULXD or Axient at the top end.
My recommendation with BLX, if that's the level you're looking at, would be to spring for the models with removable antennas (the "R" version). That will be better for you in the long term, especially if/when you add antenna distribution.
The QLX, ULXD, and Axient add a lot of nice functionality, like the option for a super nice rechargeable battery system. ULXD and Axient also have easier antenna distribution, but obviously they're more expensive. Most of the features of Axient are probably more than you need, and that could maybe be said for ULXD too, but the 4 channel receivers sure are nice. Pricing on the QLX series isn't too bad though, and if you can afford the rechargeables and drop-in charger, you'll never look back.
