I've pretty much always shot recurves or hybrid style longbows. I owned a few reflex Hill style bows and I recently got a Whippenstick Classic which is a string follow longbow. Some of the hybrids I've owned were touchy as hell to shoot but most were pretty easy to shoot well. However, there's something about the straight limbed bows that really jives with my shooting style. This Classic is seriously one of the best handling bows I've owned.
To be more specific, much of how I look at a bow being easy to shoot lies in the grip. I feel the way the straight limbed bows handle is shaped and sets back into the hand is a big part of it. Most of the hybrids have deflexed handles with fairly contoured locator or pistol grips. Logically I know those things promote consistency and reduce torque but with low mass risers I think it may not be exceptionally beneficial. I find a rounded grip wants to squirrel around in the hand a little and the deflexed riser without a lot of mass is more subject to vertical torque.
My Classic has a slight locator grip and it fills the hand nicely. I kinda feel like I hold onto the side of the grip a little more and because it sets back a little when I put tension on the string it locks into my hand easily. That, coupled with the thick cored limbs, lets me know before I even draw if there's any torque in the hand.
Speaking of limbs I'm also finding the Hill style bows are pretty damn resistant torque, both vertically and laterally. I also feel the draw characteristics of a straight limbed bow are more shooter friendly. There is less pre-load so the draw feels more linear and for hunting I can see that being an advantage. I know that equates to less speed but within reasonable distances I don't see that being a detriment.
