I'd say, based on experience, that the NBT is the best deer bullet we've ever had. With that established, I'm trying new(er) things, primarily monos over the last few years. I'm extremely pleased with the killing I've done on deer with them thus far and will continue the experiment until something else comes along.
Since having a daughter I'm also much less anxious to use lead-core bullets when she may end up eating some of the meat. Small chance of issues, but a small one totally in my control will be eliminated in every case practical as long as I'm around.
The lead fragments are my concern as well. Like the thought of not having to worry about lead fragments in my venison burger.
