Well there really is only one option if you are a serious shooter looking for maximum performance and accuracy out of your bow. That would be a long, weight forward stabilizer. The only thing a short stab does is kill noise and add weight. Not that that isn't a good thing, because we all know a quiet bow with some heft makes for steadier shooting, but picture it this way. The stabilizer is positioned right below your grip and hand, which is where we feel hand shock, vibration, and is also the center of attention for ambient noise. All of those bad attributes are transferred to your stabilizer, and hopefully completely absorbed before they make their return trip back to your hand for more torque and accuracy robbing potential. A long stabilizer allows for a bigger area of absorption, and with the majority of the weight at the end, allows for those vibrations to get trapped per say and allow for a more natural follow through and shot concentration. Balance and hold is steadier, more noise is canceled, and most likely if that is the only thing you change, your groups will shrink. All things we archers love. Hopefully this wasn't too long, but provides insight for future reference.
