There's good and bad in every breed... there isn't a specific "best" breed out there.
If you buy a good strike dog... go hunt with it and make sure it's what you like and want. I wouldn't take one on a short trial period, because a lot of times it takes a new dog a while to settle in with you and your pack... you may thinks its junk for the first several hunts.
And like Chris said, be very leery of what you read on the internet... don't believe anything until you see it in person.
