Which one would pick?
Quiet for me because if they don't know it's coming they can't dodge it

I like to have both. A fast bow that is loud will kill deer but increases the chances of a deer loading its legs at the sound of the bow and dodging the arrow.
A quiet bow is great, but there are advantages to having the higher KE and flatter trajectory of a fast bow.
I think any bow that is relatively quiet and shoots faster than 270 fps is excellent for the whitetail woods.

The deer can hear it no matter how quiet you may think it is. Not saying speed is king just that all bows are plenty quiet now days.

Accurate over Quiet and Speed.
I just picked up a Mathews Prestige target bow a couple weeks ago. The Prestige is an oldie but goodie bow. Not fast. Not quiet. Not shock free. It wants to jump away from you on the shot. But it's one of those bows you could stand on your head and shoot it wrong handed and the arrow still go where you wanted them to go. Time after time after time.
The PSE Evo was very smooth to draw...and a pleasure to shoot. No handshock...QUIET bow...I am very picky about noise and that bow was quiet to me when I would shoot it and even quieter when standing by somebody else shooting it. And it was super fast too...but if you were off by just a fraction on your form or if you flinched just a hair or had the grip too deep in the hand...that bow told on you BAD.

I would say quiet since a quiet bow these days is plenty fast. I would rather have a quiet hunting bow vs a loud fast bow.
