Hookem- Don't sweat it; I for one appreciate the info. I've seen several of your posts on another site, and I always find them informative.
Seems as if every time a thread like this comes up, we always get the obligatory "Get her the walmart special in her favorite color."
I find this advice so helpful, seeing as how I've only seen it parroted at least 100 times. Not everyone wants to spend $$ at 8U/10U; we get it!!
For those that are looking for something a little more high-end, I think you've given some great options. I have no problem spending a few extra bucks on a decent product. My DD gets a kick out of using a style her older sisters may have used. And while she may not utilize 100% of the benefit a nice composite has to offer; if she does struggle, at least she knows better than to try to blame it on her equipment.
