What's the pedigree of your heifer? What does she look like? Hot Commodity is a great CE option and has a huge sample size. For us, he seems to follow the cow and make a better version of her most of the time. If your heifer is really good haired then you should be fine with HC. I've seen some HC's that weren't the shag haired type. Goes back to HC follows the cow. I like AOD and the Outsider both but I wouldn't feel comfortable using them on heifers. The JPJ lines are good CE options which several sons and grandsons have already been mentioned. We haves used JSF Jazz 34S on heifers and really liked the calves. 

Red Demand and Red Reward lines could also work for you. We have used Deception on heifers with great success. Byland Soggy Dog is owned by Paint Valley Farms and he would be a good CE option as well.
