I've used one of these, Red 5 RVD30 Dynamic mic's - 37 quid, and they sound OK.

What size venues are you playing at? Would a DI feed from amp to Mixer be an option (a bit less hassle) and would eliminate what I get a lot - idiot singer prancing around and kicking the guitar mic away from the cab!!
Not certain it would sound lopsided in a smaller vanue but I do know what you mean.
Sure you know this already but I found using an open backed 2X12 cab was fantastic for 'spreading' the sound round a room a bit better than closed.

The pyle mic on amazon looks very interesting - I've read about them on psw and other sound forums but didn't realise you could get them in the uk. Tempted to grab one just to test at that price!
Whatever you do go for, it's worth spending some time finding where you want to aim the mic - a few inches either way will have more affect on the sound than which mic you choose. Stick through the pa and stand out front while some moves the mic, then mark it for future reference.
