Lots of good brands. I use a Truball? Lots seem to like Scott releases.

I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard

Are you looking at a back tension, thumb or resistance release? I like the carter but I am partial to Scott myself. I am thinking about picking up a longhorn hunter.

scott short and sweet.
I like it because it's a sweet release and it's also short so it doesn't mess up my draw length or form.

Scott
I think that Scott makes an awesome line of releases. They have great triggers and make a release for every one. They have single caliper, dual caliper and hook style. Buckle or velco. Solid or strap, long or short and every combination you can think of.
I am shooting a Mongoose and really like it!

 ...Just avoid the cheaper ...entry level type ...great for youth but will only cost you more in the long run...
Strangly enough the most expensive were noisier and not as true shooting as one may hope...The mid range $100.00 releases faired the best for true center shot, quiteness and reliability..
the Scott, trueball, etc as mentioned above in the mid range really worked well...
I was super impressed with the Fletchunter I personally use...
