Are all USB mics the same?

It all depends on the quality of the mic or interface you're getting. It just so happens that mics with built-in preamps and A/D converters tend to be of lesser quality overall than a mic with an XLR connection that can be plugged into a USB interface. Interfaces, however, cover much more of a price/quality spectrum.

How do I choose a good quality microphone?

A microphone with a frequency response range of around 80 Hz to 15 kHz would make a good choice for a vocal mic. However for miking snares and toms, you would look for a range that starts lower, at around 50 Hz, and for a bass drum mic, you will want a low end of 40 Hz or even lower, down to 30 Hz.
