There are tons of choices today with everything from low racers to trikes to high racers and all kinds of configurations. As a starter read the FAQ's at these sites:

www.bentrideronline.com
www.recumbents.com

We're all going to recommend "our" bent as the most enjoyable, simply because we like what we ride.
Two years ago I would have said "V REX". Today I'll say Bacchetta Strada or any of the high racers for riding typical to what you woulda done on your DF. YMMV
