Most of the recommended mics are not all that expensive. The cost would be in buying multiples to try them.

Actually, Mollie Tuttle said in her ToneDexter video, that she likes the SM57, which you can find used for $40-60. Mine turned out to be a large-diaphragm condenser that I paid about $200 for.
