I'd say go with something inexpensive, something along the lines of the AT 3035 (though that model has been discontinued).
Biggest problem I see is using a single-mic system at all in "noisy bars with crappy sound systems." Depends on how noisy and how crappy, but because a single mic (typically a large diaphragm condensor is used with a cardiod pick up pattern) amplifies a large volume of space around it you'll be amplifying as much crowd noise as band. Using monitors with single mic + noisy bar is impossible. Single mic set up DOES work with monitors but you have to know your system well, you need to have at least 1 good 31-band equalizer to notch out feedback frequencies, and you can't have much crowd or room noise. In addition, crappy sound systems may not offer the phantom power required for a condensor mic. Don't mean to rain on your parade or anything, but the situation you describe has serious problem potential. Good luck! Fred Oh, and the mic you're looking for is the SuckBuster 4000 and sadly, I got the last dozen.
