You should shoot several brands before you throw down some coin. Connections have me biased as hell, but if you plan on keeping it several years I advise getting your hands on every bow you can. New bows are like vaginas, they're all good... but you'll know when you find one you want to keep around a while.
Budget bows are budget bows for a reason, but that doesn't mean they won't last for years or won't get the job done. Just something to think about, but some companies now offer lifetime transferable warranties so you might want to take a look at some used bows as well. Diamond and Bear both make nice budget bows so you might sling a few arrows through them too.
Generally, I point people to Athens, Hoyt, and Prime... and in that order. It's none of the big 4, but there are a couple companies hitting hard times, customer support might become an issue.

Thanks for this. After shooting a PSE, Bear, Mathews, and a Prime, I ended up going with the Bear. It was actually smooth, plus it was one of their upper level bows, on sale for half price. It was a bow kt as well, so I got hte full set up.
Anyway, looking forward to slinging some thru this weekend in southern MO.
