I may need to get a new road stem and am trying to find one that has a good
bit of drop (negative rise). The lowest seem to go to 80 degrees (10 degrees
drop). Are their any good quality ones that I've missed that will put the
bars a slight bit lower than this?

As nobody else has mentioned it, the Oval R700 is a pretty good stem
available in 73 degrees in either bar size and any sensible length.
In oversize, the Ritchey WCS 4-Axis 73 degree and Deda Newton Pista 67
degree are both good.
The Ritchey Pro30 (60 degree) seems to be available only in short
lengths, and a step below any of the others in quality.

If it's threadless, a 'hi-rise' stem flips over to become a fashionable
'track' stem.

Specialized is making some nifty stems in either 16 or 24 degrees
that have a selection of canted shims such that you can adjust angle of the
stem +- 4 degrees, a really smart idea that works pretty well.

Ritchey makes a '73 degree' which is minus 17 degree and pretty much
parallel to the ground.

QBP/Dimension offer some that are 35 degrees from perpendicular, or
about 18 degrees down from the horizontal on a typical sporting road
bike:

Delta make some that are 45 degrees from perpendicular, about 28
degrees down from the horizontal:
http://www.deltacycle.com/product.php?g=6
Both of these require bars with 25.4mm centers.

Deda Newton Pista has a 67deg angle (23deg drop) and the writing
wouldn't be upside down!

And if you get more desperate than that, There's the Look Ergostem:
http://www.glorycycles.com/loerhscst.html
It's a high-end stem, adjustable for height and reach, and designed such
that if you need to, it can put your bars well below the headset:

Can't you get a positive rise stem and flip it upside down?

Try the Ritchey adjustable - 45 degrees either way.

Well, yes, but the question is then simply restated as what company makes a
stem with the most positive rise? ...I've only seen 10 degrees rise.
