Shure SM-57. An external net/mess pop filter or slip on foam tip can duplicate with the SM-58's ball is trying to do, and the lack of the ball may give the SM-57 just a bit more brightness when used as is.
It's the indispensable mic. There's nothing you can't mic with it and get acceptable results,* and there are things that experienced folks who have extensive mic cabinets containing expensive vintage mics will choose to use a SM-57 for over a field of other options.
Also approximately as durable as Keith Richards.
*well, maybe not field recording underwater, though I haven't tried it for that.
