Microphone selection is highly subjective to operators voice. I've recently operated a FT450 with a stock microphone and was getting a lot of compliments on my audio quality. Of course running a kilowatt into stacked multi-element Yagi helped some too.
Heil makes great microphones. I've been using a Heil HM12 with my Ft3000 with great success. |

I can highly recommend the Heil microphones. They make a noticeable difference in how you sound.
I was once asked, "What did you do? Did you get an amp?" by a contact I had talked to a few nights before. No, just added a Heil mic. |

They definitely sound crisper then other studio mics because they are tuned for narrow HAM radio applications. They also isolate a lot of background noise. Its hard to do this with condencer type microphones. |

You could do much more by tailoring the EQ to whatever mic you are using. I used a PR-781 and ProSet6 with my FT-450 and heard nothing but good comments.

I bought a $10 mic, $30 mixer, and $10 boom. I can tailor my audio up or down as I like, but I have it set where it works well now. |
