Which mic should I consider getting?

I've pin pointed two microphones which would improve my voice over on my videos, I currently use a Creative Fatality that is VERY picky when it comes to picking up my voice, if I put it too close to my mouth I get a weird bowing effect and loud pops from my breathing, if I put it too far away it sounds like I'm holding my nose and talking.

My environment can get fairly noisy, I record in the main room which also contains the fridge and the fridge sometimes turns on and makes a weird noise which my current mic picks up.

The two mics I've considered are the Audio Technica AT2020 and the Blue Yeti.

The Blue Yeti will pick up background noise even on the cardoid setting which will sort of ruin the voice over, whereas the Audio Technica seems to be very isolating which is good. A long with a pop filter and the only thing I'll need to make sure it up to scratch is my writing and talking.

Which one should I go for? (This isn't me in the video, I found it on YT)

I would say go for the blue yeti or the red yeti. The yeti mics in general are amazing, so that is a good choice.
