+1000 on the SM57. Another +100 on a condensor mic, especially for vocals (not a fan of them for guitar amps, but maybe I'm not using them right). But absolutely, you need a preamp-interface for the mics. There's a lot of good ones out there (at least for home recording-I won't get into the high-end arguments here). I personally use a Presonus Inspire, which is a Firewire interface (much faster than the old USB 1.0 interfaces) and it works fine for what I need. Poke around on Craigslist, they turn up for around $100 used (if not less).
