Most people use a large diaphragm condenser mic for recording vocals, and most people use a smaller diaphragm condenser microphone for recording instruments for its ability to withstand sound pressure, the microphone the first person answered with was designed more for the stage but in a studio you will primarily find condensers. To focus more on your microphones, they both seem to have gotten very similar reviews. So my advice is take your pick or go through google and see for your self.
This is a recording with the M-Audio Nova - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt0TPraoWL8
The Audio-Technica AT2020- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V23hvoUeFDE a mixture of guitar and vocals, but I wouldnt blame the sound of the girls voice on the mic, she added too much reverb clearly, they say in reviews that this mic gives a medium warmth that compliments a voice or instrument
vocals on the nova - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOgIDc0qecE
I personally would buy the Audio Technica Mic just because their known more for microphones, while M-Audio is more known for other music equip, but if you want to find a large diaphragm condenser microphone that can transfer to similar capabilities as the small diaphragm, then find a condenser with a -10db switch on it, it decreases the sensitivity and ambient noise and increases the sound pressure capabilities whenever its switched to that, to return it to normal, just switch it back to 0db, its a great feature, one I know has it is the audio technica at4040, I had a studio projects c1 with the capability, love that microphone!!!!
