For the money Nikons Monarch 5 and 7 are hard to beat. For my eyes, and my two hunting partners who have Vortex, the Nikons are clearer with better color and fine feature definition than the Vortexs, both are switching. 10x42 is a pretty good all purpose size. They are also highly rated in the online Birder Binocular reviews.
To find better glass I had to go up to the top of the line Leica, so from $350 (London Drugs on sale) to $2500 for the Leicas.
