If I am in a situation where I don't want to take a higher-value mic, or I don't have phantom power, I use a Behringer XM8500 - cheap as chips, but clearer and more feedback resistant than the SM58 it is based on. And yes I have directly compared them through the same system at the same time with the same EQ settings. I have 5 which cost less than 1 SM58.

These mics serve me pretty well, but my GAS is curious about the Rode M1 - it's another SM58-style dynamic, but reportedly has more clarity and top end airiness.
I had the M1 years ago. It's ok, but probably not worth going out of your way for.

It was good enough for Elton John at the 2018 Grammy awards. It also gets the nod from a sound guy I know who works at the Kennedy Center.

It's more than good enough for me.
