Truthfully, I use my Taboo Spare for both. Drilling it pin down makes the core flip earlier, and you don't have that "jerk." Whenever everything is hooking a lot, I can just slide right, slow way down, roll the ball up 10, and smash the pocket.
The plastic makes it too speed sensitive to really be a dry lane ball, though, as a touch fast and it's gone. No surface + speed = no grab. That's where the urethane will be king, and I think a solid urethane would probably work better on dry than pearl, to give a more subtle hook than a snap.
On the ten pin I feel the Taboo gets the nod for setting into a stable roll on its way up, so if you throw straight at it, that's the way it's rolling.
The Taboo for a cranker, however, is an amazing thing. My brother basically has an orbital release, I'll have to post a video to show, but just know he gets a lot into it. He can use it on fresh medium, and do fairly well.
