Depends. For $300 the C4's are hard to beat. If you go up to your $700 limit, the Peluso CEMC6 sound like a good choice.

What pre/adc will be paired with the mics? Is your limit for mics only or the entire rig? There's a bunch of topics on here, so running a search is a good idea.

700 for just mics or for an entire rig?

You can score used C4's for much less than $300 these days, if you look in the right places.  That leaves $400 to *begin* buying the rest of your rig. 

I would check out this page, lots of good info, would answer alot of your questions...http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=35004.0
