Getting Started (AKA What is the best...?) • Microphone choices for vocals ( whispering ) and strings ( guitars, violins, cello, ... )

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

I have been wondering for few weeks which microphone I could buy that offers "very close/in your face" voice recording, with an ultra low noise level so I can record whispered voices, and able to handle the sound of my guitar amplifier. My sound card is an Audient id44, so the noise level is litterally to the floor ( so I can use an ultra sensitive mike ).

As there are tons and tons of available models, I have pre selected some models and it would be great if you could give me your 3 best choice, out of my list ... it might also be useful for other KVR users

3 categories ( split per price ) :
$$$
Rode K2
Shure KSM42 SG
Neumann TLM 102 Studio Set
Rode NTK

$$
AKG C214
Rode NT2-A Studio Solution Set
Sontronics STC-3X Pack black
Lewitt LCT 440 PURE

$
t.bone SCT 2000
AKG C3000
t.bone SC 1100

Thank you all for your help
