There are a lot of bows that you can choose from to meet your needs. Some companies give you a lot of adjustability right on the cam (ie, Kodiak). Others give you a big range with cheap, easy to change modules (ie, Diamond). To find a "forgiving valley", you'll have to shoot them in order to find one that fits your definition. I wouldn't get too hung up on quality. I doubt there is a single upper end bow out there that isn't great quality.

I've tested hundreds of bows and I watched hundreds of others test them. One thing for certain, one person will often love a bow that another does not prefer. They all shoot great, but the "feel" can be quite different. To find the "feel" that you prefer, you have to shoot them. No matter what brand I might recommend, you may not prefer it to another brand. Draw cycles, valleys, noise, vibration and recoil can vary a lot, or ever so slightly.

I recommend finding a good bow shop with a reputation for taking care of their customers. Tell them what you're looking for and see if they sell something that feels good. A good shop might exchange modules as you grow, for little or no cost. They will make sure your draw length is set up correctly as you are growing and can be an immense help in tuning the bow. A really good shop can do 10 times as much for your shooting as a particular brand can.

Good luck,
