Good luck to you whatever you decide. Personally, I wouldn't mess with a microwave. I have blown up two microwaves and replaced them. Nowadays, you can get them for less than $100 in Walmart.
Why do you want to run dedicated line for just a microwave. That's really not necessary. But, if you want it, I would have an electrician put it in for you. Electric isn't something you want to play with if you don't know what you're doing.
A dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker in the box, 12-2 wire with a ground.
for possible future use, consider normal 'fault interrupter' duplex receptacle on 12-2 wire with ground.
