Pretty much what the title says, what would I be better off buying for rap/singing vocals? Also a choice of the Audio Technica AT2035

I don't have a music store around though, so I was looking for advice.
I hate the NT1A, and found it to be harsh and sibilant.
I have no idea how much the other mic sucks.
Save your money and buy a quality dynamic you'll keep forever.
I would not expect the NT1A to sound as good as a SE2200T, Neumann TLM102, AT4040, Oktava MK-319, AKG Solidtube and Kel HM2d. for 1 second. But the question was "SE2200a or Rode NT1A" The mics you listed are in a different price league.
Well the SE2200a and SE2200T sound very close if that helps.
These questions appear on here all the time, only you can decide by trying them out and seeing how your own voice sounds. Both mics sound good it will come down to personal taste.
Now I await the replies with "get a SM7, a Neumann U8o something or other, or an EV blah blah blah"

Condensers use a lot of their energy picking up the source and everything else around the source. Dynamics pick up the source. Period.
This lends focus and power to the source, not the source's environment. And dynamics are more forgiving of sibilance, usually. Focus and power for rap. Yes, that's a good thing.
Dynamics pic up less of "the room" because they are generally less sensitive.
