Two questions in one post... (funk, house, punk, single)

1. Well, me and my band are thinking of recording soon, and we can do one of two things:
a.) record with a computer microphone (a cheapy 5-8 dollar one)
b.) use one of those funky things that allow you to plug a regular mic (cheapy 10-15 dollar one with built in chord, the end being a 1/4 inch mail plug) in to your computer.
Which would sound better?

And any other tips for having the best quality of sound for a home recording would be appreciated too.

2. Without buying a PA system, what is a good, affordable speaker/amp that I can plug a microphone into (with 1/4 inch mail plugs) and have it sound nice and loud?

I hope I have my terms correct for these questions.
