I'd take a look at these mics as alternatives to the SM58:
Blue Microphones Bluebird
Audio-Technica AT4040
3U Audio Warbler
Aston Microphones Origin
ADK Microphones A6
Advanced Audio Microphones CM47fet
I've heard all of these at some point and they're all very good for the price point. I'd probably lean a little more towards the Bluebird for your vocalist. A friend of mine has one in his studio and it's gotten a lot of use on female vocalists with good results.
