I would recommend a dynamic microphone. Static microphones are more sensitive and ideal in a studio environment, which your home most likely isn't. I really like my SM58 (which doesn't need an extra pop filter), but there are many other options.

One thing to note is that dynamic microphones need to be right front of your mouth to be effective, that's the trade-off for being able to reject background noise. Which means that if you are doing video, it will be visible on camera.
