Err, no microphone is "indestructible" - including 58's & 57's. People only think they "sound great" because they are pretty much the only mics that people have heard as they are "industry standard". If you pay a little more money, you can get the beta 58 which is an up to date version of the 58. Not too bad. EV (Electrovoice) do some nice cheap and not so cheap dynamic mics, as do Sennheiser (their evolution series is very cheap!)
The Behringer copys are actually rather good. I have three (although I left one in a bell tower for 9 months
I haven't checked it yet.) Only problem is getting hold of some.
