Stay with the "Martin" brand. I have two Martins, 1 is 10 years old, the other is 8 years old. Have never had ANY problems or failures.

There are three other Martin shooters in my group. The age of their bows are in the 8-year old range. Other than one shooter replacing some nylon bushings for a newer type bushing, neither shooter has ever had any problems with their bows.

I have shot several brands of C-bows in my time. PSE and Martin has served me well.

As for speed, the older style Martin Sonic wheel and their full cam bows crank on. Unless you want to try and break the sound barrier, those older Martin bows do the job, do it well, and are extremely reliable.

My old 1975 PSE Pacer at around 185-190 psi did the job and did it well, as it did for my brother. My old Pacer is still with me and still shoots.
