Well, I'm sure there are several other balls that people will want to see added to that list. I know I can think of quite a few oil-eating balls right off the top of my head. In any case, from the list you provided, I think the Centaur AMB Particle takes the cake in terms of pure oil-handling ability. I've never seen a lane with enough oil to make one of those truly usable. It wanted to start hooking before it left the ball return, it was that early! So, while I don't think it was the best ball of that group by any means, if you're talking about the ball that had the ability to handle the longest, slickest, heaviest oil you could throw at it, the AMB Centaur Particle would get my vote.

AMF Fusion Hook Monster
Storm El Nino X-it

I've thrown 5 of the balls on your list. Based on what you've listed I'd say the VG.

Based on longevity I'll take the El Nino X-it. I think it came out in 1997 and I still use mine on occasion. It covers as many boards as the VG, just in a different way - more midlane and less backend.

my brunswick goliath and mammoth were both high load particle balls and the only time i saw "too much" oil were on a couple of pba regional patterns.

I'm gonna go with the AMB Particle, Super Carbide Bomb, or GP2.  Hard to beat a dull high-load particle ball for heavy stuff.
