I draw a little over 30" and I have found 64" bows and up work best for me.  I can do a 60" curve and even had a 56" kajika stick by whisperstick that worked well.  I have always gotten rid of curves and I think it is because I haven't tried one over 60".  My next one will be 64".  I will stick to 64" and up from now on.  You need to shoot as many as possible. YMMV.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

Once again you guy's have come through for me, with great info to think about.  I suppose in the scheme of things a bit of finger pinch is'nt the end of the world.  The predator actually draws real smooth and it is maneuverable.

I'll probably take any oppurtunity I can to try out a 64 inch + bow.  I'm curious how much difference I'd feel if any.  

I've found I combine styles a bit to get a more effective shot.  I draw more vertically to get a smooth full draw, and as I hit anchor I lean my head and cant so I can line my shot up better.

Thanks again for the top notch advice.

Graniteslater, If you are going to draw 31+ Check with Bruin bows. I drew some of his shorter bows, and was amazed at how smooth they were. I'm not sure how long Mike makes his bows, but a 64 or 66" would eliminate pinch as well.
