To get VERY general, you won't go wrong with:
-SM57 for spoken word and instruments
-SM58 for singing
I bet half the high schools and churches in America either use 58's for both speaking and singing and 57's for instruments only, OR they use 58's for everything. There's nothing horribly wrong with that, since both mics are great workhorses, it's just not their best strengths.
