A few thoughts:
if you want something sort of universal (not really possible) get two of the same mic, so you can record in stereo
inexpensive ribbon mics are very mellow, aka a little rolled off. The Chinese ones tend to use very thick foil so they are more rolled off than the more expensive classic ribbon mics. I have modified one with thinner foil, but it's still kinda dull on top. The organ, electric guitar and (IIRC) the conga on The Number White were recorded with a Royer stereo ribbon mic - a very high quality ribbon that is more open on top. Ribbons can require a fairly high gain mic preamp. And you can wipe out the ribbon with a single plosive.
the Apex 460 is another cheap but usable mic, and one that responds well to modification. It will give a brighter presentation, and will also be a little more forgiving of mishandling.
