What don't you like about the 58?

A couple of things about mics...
They're kinda like shoes....as in...they either fit your voice or they don't.

Also when looking, read up on "phantom power"
Condenser mics need it.
Dynamics (like the 58) don't.
Phantom may also read as "48 volt".

If you're board or interface doesn't have phantom, a condenser won't do you any good.

Luck man...

Like DB states you have to try out some microphones to see if it fits.
Most stores that have thier mics on display will let you try them out there.
I know that GC has many different ones on display go to one and check them all out.
Then go on line and find your best prices.
