well, bscofield, unfortunatly I can' t tell you what you need. All these produts work great, but personal preference is the key here.
All rests are very " tunable" and they all work and shoot really well.
You can convert an original WB to a quick shot with a QS replacement biscuit. If money is an issue, and you shop around, you may come out cheaper to buy the original. If you find that you would like to have the QS bisuit down the road, just buy a replacement.
The drop tine is a bit prettier, but has basically the same functionallity and adjustments as the original. It has a more curved flowing design rather than looking like a piece of square cut alluminum like the original. This also comes in a camo color.
The Deluxe is supposed to be their " top of the line" rest (can be original biscuit or QS) and they claim that it has more tunability. as well as vertical and horizontal adjustment marks.
So, It all depends on your needs, budget, etc.. Hope this helps.

I would tend to agree. The marked graduations on the rest make adjustments relatively simple. The quick-insert slot also makes loading an arrow much easier in bowhunting situations.

The Deluxe QS is probably the best, although I can' t say for sure, because I don' t own one. Dave C. on these forums said he had a problem with the lower right fletch hitting the support when shooting cock vane up with the Deluxe. I don' t know if anyone else has had this problem. The QS feature is very nice, and the bristles seem to be softer and quieter than the older original style.
Right now, I have two original style Biscuits, and a drop-tine, all with the QS setup. I personally prefer the original to the Drop tine, since it is much easier to fine-tune. With the Drop-Tine. there is only one height which will get the biscuit perfectly aligned with the bow string. I prefer using a tied-in nock point, so the lack of adjustability is a problem. If you use brass nock sets, it probably is a non-issue, and the greater ruggedness of the Drop-tine would be an advantage.
I will most likely pick up a Deluxe QS for my Bowtech, to see if it is a better mousetrap.
