Buying bow- ideas for things to play

Hello,

I'll be trying out some bows tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had good experiences/ ideas for "test drive" material. Will be bringing my own instrument of course.

I know the bow should sound good across all ranges / should jump when I want it to/ produce good overtones, etc but in the moment in the shop sometimes I blank out on what to use as testing material.

What method have you used to test out bows in the past? :)

Would appreciate your ideas :)

Ps- am professional, looking around ~5kusd area if that helps ;)
