Audiobook microphone question

I’m a Drama teacher and Public Speaking coach, so I feel confident in recording my own audiobook for my Cajun fantasy novel. I’m ready to purchase equipment.

I know Thomas recommends the Samsung Q2U for $100, but I’d have to also buy an extended boom arm to go with it for another $24.

Reedsy recommends the Blue Yeti, which is already on a stand, for $100.

Is there a reason to choose one over the other?

Also, would I need to purchase a pop filter for both of those options?


Thank you!
