I can't speak to all of them but I own the Blue Yeti and it is a really good mic. Look in to it as it has a few different settings as far as what you can do with (cool but generally I don't do anything but cardoid).
Pro's - Sounds great. It captures very full sound. Like any mic situation, you need to practice your skills with it to get the optimal location/distance to get 'the sound'. That said, It never fails to do a good job. Also, very much plug-n-play. Plug it in, select the source in the DAW and you're rolling.
Cons - The round dial you use to select the mode (eg - cardoid, stereo etc) is probably the week point. Just a tish sticking switching modes so I feel like I have to be careful. That said, I never change modes so it doesn't matter to me. Also, for vocals, because it is on a stand, there is not an Ess/Pop Filter (probably) at your local store. But cheap to order.
You decide - It's really large. It doesn't bother me at all. I rather like that it is substantial. It is that; tall and weighty. But, versus other mic's, I don't need a boomstand and I can tilt the Yeti to tilt back or down. Though you still need to put it on something.
