Of coarse youll have to shoot them to see for yourself, but, in the list given, i would go for either the Bear Lights out, or Diamond Justice

I've got the Justice and I love it, it's not a screamer but it's smooth.

I just got the LIGHTS OUT a few months ago and love it. 2 days after having it I split my first arrow or done a "Robin Hood" with the arrows. For what I was wanting to spend I think it's great. I have not heard anything bad about the Lights Out but everyone has their own opinion. It's treating me good andagain Love this bow.

All the ones you have listed are pretty good brand name bows. You probably won't go wrong with any of them. But it is more a case of which one feels right for you. One may have a stiffer or smoother draw. Another may hold easier. Go shoot as many as you can and make your decision based on which one suits your style.

A bit of advice tho. If you are new to archery, buy from a goodpro shop. The help you get there will make things easier in the long run. Now would be a great time to go too. They probably aren't going to be real busy this time of year, and can give you lots of attention. And you will have lots of time to practice before the season opens.

The Stinger is the less than fantastic in that list and I love my old PSE.
Its alot of personal preference, but I'd go with the Bear or the Diamond.

A guy in town have a Diamond Justice and it's a very nice bow. I would most likely look at the Diamond or Bear. For some reason I can't stand the Whisper Creek.[:'(]
