Whippet. I was never too fond of Basenji yodeling, LOL. Also, you must watch your food intake for your Basenji. For some reason, I live in Basenji-ville and many of these dogs are pretty overweight. They also have a good stamina, but I take it from your username that you're a terrier guy so you should be used to high energy dogs. Whippets are basically smaller Greyhounds but with more spunk. They are greyt jogging pals as they can build up a lot of endurance and their speed for that size is phenomenal.
What exactly are you looking for, though? I can't personally see myself with any dog from the sporting group, but I've always loved Brittanys for their appearance.

I grew-up with one next-door. One thing I like about the Brittany is that they are still an all-purpose breed, meaning there aren't "show" Brittanies and "hunting" Brittanies. Although the "Spaniel" has been officially dropped for several years, I love spaniels and still include the Brittany in that group. However, they are a high energy breed! If you do not plan on hunting with a Brittany, their energy has to have another physical outlet. Like other gun dog breeds, the Brittany is very people oriented. Interactive exercise is mandatory for the breed, otherwise unspent energy will result in destructive behavior. In the U.S. the Brittany is allowed in: orange spotted, liver spotted, tri-color spotted as well as any of these colors in roan. In their native France (& other parts of Europe) the Brittany is also allowed in black spotted.
