Depends whether you want replaceable blades or resharpenable.
Replaceable blades- Trophy Taker Terminal T-locks, Trophy Taker Shuttle T-locks, Slick Trick Mags, are some newer models that have great performance.
Resharpenable- I'm shooting NAP HellRazors right now. Magnus Stingers, Buzzcuts, or Snuffers as well as G-5 carbon steel Montecs.
There's so many good heads out there now its hard to say which one is "best".

So why are you done with the Rage? No offense, but most of the time a broadhead gets blamed it was a marginal or poor hit like a single lung or poor angle. I see your from illinois, so i bet you are shooting WT deer. Those WT have a will to live like no other animal in the deer or lope family, and IMO are the toughest damn thing to take down if the shot is not perfect. They can lose an astonishing amount of blood and make it to water and drink up and keep going, seen it happen more than a few times in my 26 years of bow hunting.
But, i second the slick tricks, they are a great head but I don't shoot the magnums. Arrow placement is number one over a little more cutting diameter. I like the rage because of the way they fly as much as the hole they make. So far I am sticking with the 2-blade design.

I love my Shuttle T's...they fly great out to and past 60 yards and leave awesome holes in an animal

I've never seen any reason to give up my Thunderhead 100's.

I shoot magnus buzzcuts fly like darts and leave a nasty hole!
VPA Terminators. Those of you that like the Montec and Hellrazor style heads will love the Terminator. Similar design, but machined from 100% solid steel. That gives it an obvious strength advantage. Not cast and no welds. Easy to sharpen and resharpen, fly great.

+1 for the Montecs, however I will add that those are the only broadhead I have ever shot.
