You'll find that a lot of people use Audacity or Wavepad. I've used both to record greetings and then transfer them to the CM VAL boards. I personally liked Wavepad over Audacity, I found it a littler more user friendly.
I used a Plantronics USB headset and it seemed to record just fine. The nice thing is that you can adjust the recordings afterwards and make them sound better through the equalizers and other options. You can also clip silences in the beginning and end of the file to make it cleaner without long pauses at the beginning or end of the recording.
