As long as you stick with a brand name brake you are going to get a good piece. I highly recommend a pro-brake for the safety reverse lock-out feature. Even a pro-brake can be tuned for a slower, softer release to help with the guys who are leaving of the bottom bulb on a full tree. This can be done by not drilling the feed/release passage as large, and using stock release springs. now every combination is different so finding what works for you take trial and error and testing.
Hope this helps,
