IMHO - first you need to decide what you want. If all you are interested in is catching fish, then go with an outfitter who targets Bounce Rig Nymphing: Old Moe, or Trout Creek. If you want a Top Water Dry Fly experience then Spinner Fall, or Western Rivers.
I am not saying that OM or TC do not dry fly. They just specialize in deep water nymphing. That typically results in more fish caught, but you will not have huge dramatic takes that leave you saying "WOW, did you see THAT!"
Guides I know that will give you a great day. ==>
Old Moe = Try to get Doug Roberts
Trout Creek = John Sparger
Spinner = ANYONE
Western = Matt or Jeremy
I am sure there are others but I know these guys. Oh, and avoid Trout Bum, IMHO.
