I've used TM hunter type, Bodoodles, and the WB. I like the WB better by far than the others I've tried. I haven't tried any drop aways but I'm sure there are some good ones I'd like. But since I really have no issues with the WB, it's kind of hard just to switch to be switching. I've found the better my bow is tuned the less (to none) wear on the vanes. I also use feathers which wear down over multiple shots but not much more than they would just wear out anyway. The only thing I'd consider a drawback with the WB is I used to use aluminum arrows and probably would prefer them over carbon but the alum's made a little bit of noise drawing back through the WB. I waxed them and that seemed to take care of the problem but I ended up just going to carbons and they are very silent through the WB.
