Chuck said some good things there. Try as many horns as you can, take notes.
Now with horns I have experiance with, I play an earlier Yamaha YCB822 and love this horn. I haven't tried a more recent one so I don't know how they are. Something else you might want to try is the Meinl Weston 2145. A GREAT horn. Nice large tone, easy to play, and comfortable (for me anyway) to hold. a 2155 might also be an option, but I didn't try it (dumb me, played a 2145 and 2165 and didn't even think of the 55)
But do yourself a favor and try some horns, its worth the time :)
