The most obvious answer is an SM57. The problem, in your case i.e. one mic to rule them all, one mic to bind them (sorry, it seemed obvious:-) is where to place the mic to do all the things you want. OTOH if you have two mics (like two SM57s) then place one in a "mid room" position and the other closer to the vocalist. It's hard to tell from the info you're giving.

I think the main point here is PLACEMENT
