#recording techniques

so ive been messing around with recording podcast intros and im stuck between using my shure sm7b or rode nt1. both sound pretty good to me but im wondering if anyone else has experience with these mics. i mean the sm7b is a classic but the nt1 is supposed to be way quieter. has anyone compared them side by side? im using a focusrite scarlett interface btw. also is it better to record in a treated room or just use a portable vocal booth? tbh im not sure whats more important rn
