Adcock/A&H ACS-CX
Black Swan Hybrid
Centaur Carbon Elite
Morrison Shawnee Dakota Carbon Foam
Zipper Carbon Foam SXT

Alphabetical order.

Shrew gets honorable mention and after I try a Carbon Foam may very well knock one of the others out.

Ah shucks David...you got to try out, oh yeah you already did!
There are probably 20 more that will fit in your top 5 according to who you talk to but Vermonster has probably shot those too!  
i like his list, but i'm kind of partial to the Habu vyperkahn (too expensive, too long a wait), and to the Cari-bow Peregrine...a 3-piece vs. 1 piece.  My whisperstic Kajikastic is right up there also..and then there is the...oh well, you get the point.  The list can go on and on.

There are a lot of bows that could easily go in there depending on grip preference etc etc. These are rock solid and something in there should fit just about anyone.

You only hear about Kempfs Kwyk Styk and Stealth but his one piece longbow is a shooter. His 58" to the 62" are smooth and fast.

Brittman....yours is the middle class top 5 8^)...affordable to us peasants.  Much too subjective to even start suggesting a top 5.

IT is possible you will find as many answers as bowyers. There are way to many good ones.
