As a side note, as a drummer, I've found that cymbals sound drastically different when recorded, than they do when listening. Don't bother going to the stores or factories and "trying" them. Listen to mixes and find out what cymbals the drummer used and you'll have a much better picture of what they'll sound like when you record.
it's also a lot better to go a bit brighter on the cymbal and choose one with more sustain. You can always EQ the top down (better than boosting a dark cymbal), and you won't need to compress as much to keep the sustain.

I have a friend who is a true connoisseur of percussion, and he only plays vintage K cymbals. I got to bash on them once and they did sound really good.

I use UFIP cymbals here. All hand made and nothing short of breathtaking in the studio. I spent an entire day with the USA Ufip rep in my studio choosing the ideal cymbals for my studio drum set and my drum room where they are recorded. I've never heard any cymbals that sound better to me or I'd own them.
