One that you might give a try is
Sabians signature 21" Universal ride. It had great stick articulation. You can use the edge for light crashing and its got a great bell tone. It's not an extremely loud ride, but the overtones dont get out of control like many I've tried. It was designed in part by Ed Shaughnessy, who played in Doc Severinsen's Tonight Show band. He wanted a ride that could play all types of music equally well. The only thing is, it not a cheap cymbal. But you do get a lot of bang fer the buck.
