Really liking my Gazelle (speed 6), TeeBird (7) and FD (7) now. Every now and the Escape or roadrunner come out, but those slower fairways can go really, really far.
Anytime I'm having a bad driving day, my DX Gazelle always bails me out... always.
I found a really light Blizzard Katana that I can throw further than anything else I have, I know it's too fast for me but on a wide open hole I throw that thing about 10' high and I can get it from 300-330, which I know is still weak but it's further than anything else.
Thanks for all the excellent advice so far, there's a lot of wisdom in them and I'm glad that I can learn from your experience. Even tho the advice that were given was sound, today I went out and bought myself a Champion Valkyrie, I believe it was 171g. Boy, you guys were correct in saying that it takes a lot more to successfully throw distance drivers! I wasn't able to propel my Valkyrie up to turn speed, on most of my throws it went straight for a bit before it started to fade hard, and I mean HARD. So much so that it spiked the ground most of the time. It's clear that I got a lot to learn, but at least I have a disc I can grow into, and there's some utility to having a hard fading disc as well I guess. The champion Valk definitely requires a lot more energy to fly like how it's supposed to compared to my super beat up 150g dx Leopard.

You will see that the Valkyrie was designed to travel in the 325'-375' range when powered properly.
