Screw a few different ones on and see if the bow balances way you like first.
And if you are happy with the weight of it. You may want a short and light one for hunting, or a longer and heavier one for target or 3-D.
Any of the Sims or Doinker type units with the vibration absorption systems are nice to use, and do what they are supposed to do.
It doesn't take long to acquire a selection of them, kinda like buying shoes.
I've got old Hoyt vented solid aluminum units, hydraulic units, and assorted Doinkers and Sims equipped units, they all worked, but each bow needs to be setup for your tastes and how it feels in your hands, at full draw and thru the shot.

I use axion stabilizers, because I can change the weights in the harmonic dampers to maximize effect. Has been very effective in both enhancing accuracy and eliminating vibration.

:D X2... the Axion come in Mathews LOST camo plus have the Mathews HS [Harmonic stabilizer] and Dampeners...plus they look very cool..

For my hunting bows I have the 3" and 4 " GLZ Gridlock or SSG pending on weight and balance of bow...

They really do work both for pin float and as a noise and/or hand shock dampener...most Modern hunting bows are quite with little hand shock so the benefits are really for stabiliziation to aid with pin float or better aiming...

B Stinger
 
I shoot a 6" B Stinger, it's black and green. They have lots of colors to choose from if that's at all important to you. More importantly they balance very nice. Can't really comment on vibration reduction cause my bow was awesomely quiet already

I have a B - Stinger, I picked it up at Jimbows in Calgary. Depending on when you need it you could by from Jimbows when they open here.

Not too sure, I bought mine in Calgary.
If you have a particular size and color in mind you could call Calgary archery center and see if they have one or will order one from their supplier for you. Mine took less than a week to come in.

Id be happy to pick it up and mail it to you if you find one there.
