If you're looking to stay with Columbia, the Wild or Wicked might make good choices. From other companies, there are a bevy of choices. Here are some of the ones that I would consider:

Hammer Blade Pearl
V2 Dry
Storm Hit
Storm Barbed Wire
Monster Slay/R
Groove Reactive
AMF Victory/R
Slate Blue Gargoyle
Green Gargoyle

There are plenty of others that are probably just as good, but that gives you a few to look at.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

Even though the reviews on this ball suck for the most part, I'd recommend the Track Dry Heat.  I have one for dry lanes and I love it.  It's drilled with the pin right above the middle finger and the cg is right below the ring finger with no weight hole.  This drill pattern allows the ball to go pretty long and have a very smooth arc to the pocket.  I couldn't believe the reaction shape.  It's prefect for dry lanes.  The other nice thing about this ball is that it still hits hard.  It hits about as hard as my Triple Threat.  It's actually a really nice ball even though it's kinda ugly to look at!!!
