Honestly, I would say that you two should choose which company intrigues you the most. All of the companies have excellent equipment, but I know for me some balls and companies (Visionary, Ebonite, MoRich) really intrigues me the most over some of the other brands (Brunswick, Storm).
With that being said, if I had the opportunity (really the money, since you just pay to get on the test staff), I would buy a membership to Visionary's test staff. They do not produce balls like the bigger companies have, but the fact they fly under the radar with some great equipment is the best part about them.
Many that have thrown Visionary can testify that they are not exactly out there creating the biggest hooking monsters that they can. The Gargoyle series was not a huge hooking series, but they were mostly control balls that could get you out of a bind on the tougher patterns.
I know it's not exactly the most desirable company, especially with the big three pumping out innovation after innovation. But to me, Visionary has that kind of "charm" that I look for. It's like choosing the girl next door over the supermodel. The supermodel may be the best looking, but the girl next door just has that something you're looking for.
