Since bows can run from about $200 to $1000 I figure about $400 to $600 is about middle of the road. There are a lot of choices out there for that money.

Parker, all of them
Mathews, some bows
Hoyt, most bows
Martin, about all of their line
Pearson, about all of their line
PSE, most of their line
Jennings, all of their line.
Reflex all of their bows

You need to decide what are important characteristics that you want. Axel to axel length, brace height, single or dual cam, weight, etc... Most all of todays bows are going to be pretty quiet and if one is a little louder than another it certainly can be made quiet with all of the accessories available today. Using a realease you can certainly go with a shorter bow and still get a good shooting bow.

The biggest thing in " keeping a tune" that I have found is the string streching. I bought a Winners Choice string and cable and have been extremely happy with the lack of tuning that I have had to do this past year.
