Default Aftermarket pickups

I know this has been a topic, but in the $200 price range, what is the best aftermarket pickup that implements a microphone?

If you want a soundhole pickup then a Rare Earth Blend like min7b5 mentioned is a good choice but it's a little higher than your target price. Closer to your price is a Fishman Ellipse Blend. It uses a UST and a mic, with controls that mount inside the soundhole.
