All do a decent job and it’s probably a good idea to try some to see if she likes the sound and feel. Others worth a look are Audix and AKG D5 and some people here are using Samson as a low cost option.
For wireless options I have the Shure slx and glxd beta 58 mics and a Sennheiser G3 ew300. Again they all work fine and it’s largely down to taste.
I’d visit a shop with decent stock or talk to a local PA guy that might have a selection she can try.
Be be careful buying used mics as there are a lot of fake Shure and sennheiser out there.
The old 58 is a fine mic but there are other options out there. What kind of mic you use depends on how the singer projects really more than anything else ..... If the singer really belts it out then a mic with a standard pattern like a 58 is fine. If their style is quieter than something with a tighter pattern ... like a Senn E945 would work better
Remember in a live situation the vocal mic also picks up drums and everything else, so the first objective is to minimize that
You need to be careful these days with wireless. The license free band is very small and congested. The 2.4G kit shares too much with wifi, door bells, baby alarms and god knows what else. I would go for something on the 1785 to 1805 with a channel 38 license ... about £75 a year
FWIW, I carry SM58s, SM57, OM7, and e945. One of the vocalists in my band uses a D5.
