The B1 sort of doesn't do much for the vast majority of vocalists or people recording dialog. It's sort of a punchy mic that I like for recording guitar amps and for certain percussion duties.

The AT2020 is more of a vocal mic. It also does a decent job on dialog. It's a bright mic but not as grating as some other cheap condensers.

I've never been a fan of the V67. I am a fan of the AT2020 and B1 so... You see where I'm heading.

I'd probably more go with the AT2020 if I were more interested in the singing and/or dialog.

I'd probably more go with the B1 if I wanted to record guitar amps.

I do think an SM57 or a 635a a better choice than any of the above for versatility. YMMV.
