The SM (and many other high load particle balls) was designed to arc and read the lane early with its "spiky" coverstock. With the matte OOB finish, I'd consider this ball to be the best suited for true soup of those you listed - but it is quite limited to this. "Special purpose ball".
Maybe the upcoming BVP Mammoth with a low RG core and Activator coverstock base will be more versatile. This will be the ball that will come closest to the SM soon.
From the current balls, the PDSanded is IMHO a very good choice, and very priceworthy. Matte coverstock finish, particle coverstock, good core. Would be my choice here.
The BW will IMHO not be the ball to go for for true soup. It is (pure) reactive, and you will surely have to open up the surface to 600 grit or even less to have the ball read the lane early enough, so that it just does not skid and react erratically once it hits dry ground. Needs oil, though, but would not be my choice on long and heavy oil, especially with the danger of carrydown.
