New bow string - need help ASAP.

Good thing this happened now and not a month from now when the season starts up here in MN! I was shooting my bow last night and had just finished shooting about 50 arrows when I looked down at my string and noticed that only one strand of the string above the lower cam was holding the sting together and it was coming completely apart!!! I nearly dropped the bow for fear of the rest of the string coming apart and creating a major catasrophe. I have no idea how this happened. I've been shooting every day or so for quite a while and I know I would have noticed that when I started shooting last night. It almost looks as if I set the bow down on a broadhead and it cut the string but I wasn't shooting broadheads!

So I obviously need a new string and all the shops in town are saying 4-5 days to get it done so I want to take it in tonight. They've all given me a different kind of string to choose from ranging from 60-100 bucks. What do you guys recommend? They said 8125 Dyna flight, Vapor Trail, 452X, a fast light. The one guy recommended the Vapor Trail and the other guy said the 8125, what do you guys think?

Just when I got the blazer vane thing fixed and got my bow shooting the best it ever has, my string takes a crap! Guess I should just buy a new Switchback.

Thanks guys.
 
i've heard nothing but good thing on vaportrail. quite a savings over winners choice, and just as good, if not better quality
 
I have 452X on mine and am very happy. I had a Winners Choice on my last two bows which was 8125, and by far the 452X is better. Here's a link to the BCY chart.
 
Thanks for the help guys...think I'll go with the vapor trail. It was a good price and was at the shop with the shortest turn around time.
