Which of these dynamic microphones you recommend?

1. Audio-Technica AT2005USB: $60
2. Shure SM58-LC: $99 + XLR to USB: $13 or XLR to 3.5mm: $13 (With that cable obtains better quality USB or 3.5mm?)

If I choose the Shure SM58, i will gonna buy a cable XLR to USB or 3.5mm (depends on which sound better), why i do not have money to buy an audio interface for now.

Both will sound the same because they connect via USB?
Worth spend more for a Shure SM58 + Cable XLR to USB or 3.5mm?


I hope your help thanks.
 
Please, please, PLEASE do not buy a USB mike. You will regret your choice.
If you can at all afford to buy an SM58/57 and a cheap interface, (even the Lexicon Alpha or Behringer Uphoria for $50) you'll be much happier.
Total output will be around $150, but you'll be surprised how poor your $60 USB mike or USB mike cable sound because the AD converter costs about $.58 in those things...
Get the right setup and then if you like what's going on, update the interface...SM57/58 will be a keeper for the rest of your life!
 
+1 to the above. No matter what you get, get some kind of usb audio interface; A proper one. ;)

Negative.
USB is a data protocol. You can send bad audio or good audio across it.
