As of right now i have just a blue snowball ice mic. In the future I will probably end up getting a XLR mic with an audio interface, just to produce a better sound quality for my videos.

Though I was wondering, what do you guys use for mics? Do you prefer one to the other?

I have 2 XLR mics 1 Condenser and 1 Dynamic and I definitely prefer them over USB ones.
which in your opinion produces the best sounds quality, the dynamic, or the condenser? I was thinking about purchasing a AT2035 from audio technica, but im not too sure.

I'm using Focusrite Scarlet Solo combined with XLR mic Behringer XM8500, dynamic mic. For now it's fine but the membrane/diaphragm is 16 mm (5/8 of inch) and it is made from some thin material and if you make a loud noise you kill him :).
I'm planning to buy condensor mic by the time and I'm aiming for AKG. There is some model on which you can scream and shout an it stays flat with no clipping!
