The problem with the 'deflex has a higher brace height' thing is that it assumes all else is equal.
Brace height is determined by limb length and limb angle. So a deflex riser may well have a lower brace height than a reflex one.

Longer bows tend to be more stable as the whole bow acts like its own stabiliser.

That implies that shorter bows are unstable, myself and many others have found quite the opposite. I believe this is a stereotype based on finger shooting and holds no water these days.
What I look for in a bow
• Weight. I want a lightweight bow so I can distribute the mass how it is required. 4.0-4.3lb is good
• Limbs design. I want a parralell limb design as it maximises speed
• Nock travel. I want a bow with both level and straight nock travel. You may need to test this for yourself.
• Speed. I want an IBO speed of 320fps and up.
• Wall. I want a rock hard wall.
• Valley. I want a long valley
For me only a couple of bows on the market meet these requirements.
