Hey Eric, A couple of little recommendations for you. I say unashamedly that one of my favourite microphone companies is rode witch is Australian…. like me. They make a couple of beauties. If you would like straight up USB, I would recommend the rode NT USB. I have used this mike a bit and I must say it is pretty good, for a USB mic. I don't have a lot of time for USB mics in general because you don't get the best noise flaw. If you want to go a step up, the rode NT 1 which is connected via a USB audio interface. It also comes with a shock mount which is very very handy if you accidentally knock into it. They also make a microphone called the Podcaster but I don't recommend it, it's not one of their better products. That is just my two cents.
