I think for brightness you cannot beat the Impact archery line. Check them out. They are the brightest I have ever saw. I won't go as far as saying they are the best though. But are good quality none the less.

It kills me that a good sight cost more that 60$. with that said if you can spare another 20$ I'd look at the Vital Bow Gear sights. The trapper series has 3' of fiberoptics per pin. At dusk my pins literally glow. They are solid metal construction and very durable. Definately worth a look but they are in the $80.00 range

I wouldn't necessarily buy the brightest. I really don't like the "halo" that some pins give off. It reduces or blurrs the actual target. What I like is adjustability and small pins. I shoot a sure-loc lethal weapon, but it is a bit pricey.

HHA also makes a nice bright single pin adjustable sight. Their sights are made from machined aluminum and are very durable. However they are heavier that many other sights.

I just looked at 25 sights side by side and the brightest was the Cobra Sidewinder. They run about $50.00

I have a cheapo cobra sight that was about 30 bux. I took off the cheap fiber optic sight and put on a truglo fiberoptic/tritium pin. The pin itself will cost 25 dollars but its worth it. It will not produce that halo that bright fiber optics produce but it will glow in pitch black! Its available through cabelas in .029 and .049
