What is the best paintball gun for an intermediate player?

Ive been playing paintball over the last few months and im getting really good at it. I need a gun that would be good for an intermediate player like me. Im leaning towards to the planet eclipse etek 3. Are there any better guns that are similar in price range? ($600) thanks

What’s the best type of paintball gun for an intermediate player looking to get more serious?

I’ve been playing for a couple years, but usually just rented equipment. Now that I’m in college, I’ll be able to go a little more often, since there are much closer fields to me now than there used to be. What’s a good all-around gun? I was thinking the Tippmann A-5, most likely the Stealth version. Any suggestions? Please, no unnecessary negative comments, unless it is pointing out the flaws of a paintball marker.
