Apartment recording--Dynamic or condenser mic?

I'm trying to to a bit of tracking in my apartment. For those of you who are familiar with the living environment, you know that cranking an amp is out of the question. I've been using a SM57 on my Peavey Classic 50 212 with adequate results. The problem is that I have to have the input level on my Tascam US-122 really high.
