i personally like longbows better, nothing against recurves. I own one. 50-55#, 56 or 60" nock to nock,but 62s and 64s do shoot smoother.
Brand? I wouldnt pick one perticular brand out until I've shot one that someone else owns. I've shot some high dollar bows(and own a couple of them)and shot some lower dollar bows. I wont pay the price of a high dollar bow again.
there are a bunch of good brands. if you found one you like, you might check the sale ads on some of these all traditional sites and find a bargain.

Lots of good bows out there. I do like the looks of the new Hoyt. I prefer heavy bows 60 lbs and up. Not for every body but they give a clean release and shoot hard. It just takes lots of shooting to build up to 60 to 70 pounds.
I prefer recurves due to the grip shape. Just me.

I shoot both recurves and so called hybrid longbows. I prefer recurves mainly because of their heavier mass weight and grip. You can get hybrid longbows with recurve grips.
Personally I like Schafer Silvertip recurves. Excellent craftsmanship, they feel good in my hand, and they shoot fast enough to kill any game animal. But that is just a personal preference. Many bowyers build excellent bows. Finding the bow that fits you is the tough part. With good form and consistency, you can shoot any quality bow well.
For a hybrid longbow, I prefer the Thunderhorn Coup Stick. Once again it feels good, is well made, and is plenty fast.
I like a 60 or 62" bow. My draw weight is in the 55#@27" range. With a well tuned arrow and razor sharp broadheads, my setups will kill anything from ground hogs to grizzlies.

I love those RER bows, but they sure have gone up in price over the years. I paid under $400 for my Arroyo back when they were called River's Edge Recurves, but they're up to $560 for the same model now.

I've had great experiences buying used off the various archery forum classifieds. Both bows I bought there were in outstanding shape and about 1/2 to 1/3 off what a new one costs.
