My personal opinion would be go with the Dead Air Nomad L or LTi XC, they are some of the quietest cans on the market right now and we liked them enough to own 4. If you want something shorter and lighter but also a little louder look at the shorter version, we own one standard and 3 of the Ti versions.
If you don't need larger than 30 cal I would skip the Alaskan 360 and the Hybrid 46. I have not heard great things about the Alaskan and I own a Hybrid 46 which was also my first can. After 7 years of ownership the Hybrid will strictly be used on a 45-70 and a smokeless muzzleloader, everything else I own is 30 cal or smaller and even the shorter nomad is significantly quieter than the hybrid.
I will be purchasing more cans in the future and the new Nomad XC series are at the top of the list for consideration baring any radical additions to the market.

I second the Dead Air Nomad. I run a Rugged Micro 30 and my bud's Nomad is considerably quieter. I have read that the Otter Creek Labs cans are good also.
