Until you get to the olympic level, most of the equipment available
today is more accurate than the shooter so, to avoid any problems there,
you mostly just have to stay out of the "toy" and "flimsy" categories.

I'm not sure, but you seem to equate speed with "better" -- I'm not sure
that's the case.

If you're interested in traditional, longbows have the longest history,
but recurves have been around a while, too. Either would work for 3D or
target hunting.

When you are just getting started, you will likely learn on a
low-poundage bow (20-30lbs, depending on your size.) This is important
to help you learn proper form without having the too-heavy bow distort
your body shape. After you've been at it for a while (perhaps 1-6
months, depending on how often you shoot), you may find you want to
increase the weight of your bow, which will give you greater distance
and power, but will slightly throw off your aim until your eyes/brain
adjust to the new setting. (Or until you adjust the site, if you use
one.)

Recurves are available with replaceable limbs, so you can start with,
say, a 25# recurve then, keeping most of the bow & add-ons, you can
replace the limbs with, say, 35#, then 45#, at substantially less cost
than replacing the entire bow.

Also, by the time you're ready to do that, you will have learned a great
deal about bows & archery, and what you thought seemed necessary in the
beginning might seem less important by then, and vice versa.

A good idea is to join a local shooting club, and/or spend a lot of time
hanging around the local archery shop, listening and asking questions.

Enjoy!
