Blue Yeti is handy in that it is very much plug and play (USB connection). 
I've got one and enjoy using it.

The challenge is that it is VERY VERY VERY SENSITIVE.  Even at its lowest
sensitivity, it will pick up EVERYTHING.  If you're in an ultra-quiet
environment, then that's fine, but if this isn't the case for you then consider
something else.

This also means mounting it on an arm or similar is very important: If it's on
your desk, it will pick up your hands moving on the desk and so on.

Generally the recommendation is to have a USB pre-amp and a standard microphone
(Where you have more choice...) running into that. More kit but enhanced
quality.
