Hi, Jim -
I'm currently using the Cooperman Nick Petrella General, the persimmon wood, quite a lot and enjoying the feel. Another stick a little more affordable is the Lalo Davila model by Innovative Percussion. They also have a Chris Lamb model that some people I know really like. Then there's always the Tom Gauger #16 for something a little different.
Here's a link to several of the popular models:
