New Technology Blade?

I am about to buy a new blade, I want to know if there are any good technologies out there like ZLC but not as expensive.

I guess it doesn't have to be specifically a technology advertised.  But I know how anytime a revolutionary rubber comes out, everyone is talking about it, but not the same with the blade.

On a seperate note, tdragon, I am not allowed to create polls, can you please create a thread for me and ask which kinda blade is liked most?  if Yes I would give you the whole list.  It would be something like: Limba Outer Ply, Aryalate Carbon, Euro Hinoki, Aluminum Carbon, Titanium Carbon, Glass Fibre, Bamboo, Balsa, Asian Hinoki, nonempty Handle, Head Heavy, Light weight, Thick, Thin(which is the thinnest blade in the world?), Heavy, Zilon, Nice Handles(ex. Dotec, jpen Xiom, ancient blades, more?), What else I left out?  Guys, this could be preparation for the thread, and not just tdragon, anyone who feels like owing me this favor would be great!
