BCY-X for me.  There's a bowyer who has a concern about it, but to meet his string requirements you'd have to use no more than 8 strands of Dynaflight '97 or the equivalent.  

FWIW, I bought a Samick Journey (retails for $150) five years ago just to test BCY-X.  It's still going strong, drawn to 31" shooting arrows that are 8.5 gpp.

I'm headed to the High Country Shoot in a few hours, back next Wednesday.  I can help you out on BCY string material and serving if you want.
