I heard a sound man say "SM58's, you can hammer nails with 'em".

Most often I just stay away from VHF and find the UHF mics work well in almost all brands. Gemini has been a good one for me. I've worked with VHF units and the biggest draw back I ever had was a neon sign ten feet from it caused it to scatter the signal. Other than that the distances seem to be around 50 ft for VHF, UHF seems to cover around 300ft. Some folks like to wander all over the bars I work at, and 50ft just doesn't cut it.

I'd second the SM58 wireless. I use them and haven't had any problems. For some reason on some nights they sound better than the wired SM58's and Beta 87A's. And no, it isn't my imagination.

I run all of my microphones with compressor/gate inserts at FOH mixer.
