I've used the SM57 to very good results recording live. Much more detailed sounding than the 58.

More kudos here for the ND 767. A great mic for the money. Our band switched from 58's a few years back to those for live vocals, and never looked back. Lots of punch and high output. Nice big sound.
Never used them to record live, but tried once in the studio just to put a female vocalist in a comfort zone. Lacked depth, when compared to a decent condenser, as expected.

My money's on the 57
