Default Oolong question.

Recently I decided to really focus on Oolongs because as it turns out
they are my favorite (so far at least). I've been drinking "light"
Oolongs (Baozhongs mostly), and I'm not sure what to explore next.
Obviously it would make sense to try more medium and dark Oolongs, but
I'm not really sure which are or aren't. Many of the websites I buy
from don't break down their Oolongs to light, medium, or dark, and this
is why I'm asking here. What are some more prominent medium and dark
Oolongs that I should check out? And for that matter, what level of
oxidation and/or roasting determines if it is a light, medium, or dark
Oolong? I realize there aren't many set definitions with tea, and
that's part of the charm, but unfortunately my thought process demands
a little classification. Any help is much appreciated.
