Shoot a bunch of bows and get what feels best to you. I thought Mathews was the best there was, and checked out the legacy, LX, and the Icon. Liked them all. Shot a Hoyt Razortech and liked it just as well. I ended up with a Bowtech EX VFT because it felt right. All of the others were nice too. I did check out Parker, AR, and a few others that just werent to my liking. They are all good bows, just personal preferance.
