Have both and have used for a while. Pics can be seen here http://internationalbowler.spaces.live.com/ . My stats are in the my profile

Gamebreaker (5½" pin CG at 70 degree, box surface) - For me this ball has good length with a strong midlane read and strong continuous backend reaction. It seems very versatile and works from a lot of different angles and on different patterns. I have tried it on 39 ft and 37 ft both med-high volume (patterns can be seen here http://www.bowltowin.dk/LBC_Dagligt_Program_1.pdf http://www.bowltowin.dk/LBC_Dagligt_Program_2007-2008_37fod.pdf) and it looked good on both but I liked it best on the longer pattern. I'm sure with a stronger layout and/or duller surface it would handle heavy/long oil quite well. And with less surface it would handle medium dry too. As I said very versatile ball

Raid (5½" pin MB 45 degree) - Length and backend. This ball is what I hoped the Angular One would be. Long and strong. For me the Angular One turned the corner a little too fast giving me over/under. The Raid has a little more length but with a little better midlane read which makes it more controllable on the backend. Don't get me wrong it has plenty of kick and continuation but it is just a bit more arcy than the Angular One. I have used it on the same patterns as the Gamebreaker and this one I like best on the shorter pattern. I really liked how this ball came back from the outside boards and still maintained a good hit. Usually when I have to get the ball far to the right (from inside lines) the ball uses almost all of it's energy getting back to the pocket leaving me with weak 10s or 7s. Not this one.

Hope this helps some
