Depends on what your objectives are…

- Ease of connectivity?  Buy just about any USB microphone.  Wire it
  up to the USB pins on the GPIO header (for PocketBeagle) or use one
  of the existing sockets (BeagleBoard/BeagleBone).  Let ALSA's USB
  audio device deal with the software stuff.

- Audio fidelity?  You'll want a I²S sound device to interface to the
  BeagleBoard/PocketBeagle that is supported by the ALSA SoC audio
  framework.  Be prepared to build your own kernel and device tree
  overlays.  Some microphone modules embed the I²S interface directly.

- Cost?  Consider using one of the analogue inputs from the on-board
  ADC with an electret capsule.  Once again, be prepared to do some code
  hacking as you'll need to write a driver to read from the ADC and pump
  that into the ALSA framework (either through userspace or via a kernel
  driver).
