My recommendation is out of production now, but I'll bet you can still find one--the Diesel Particle Pearl.  It gets throught the heads very well, has a strong mid-lane read, and finishes very strong; especially if there's a bit of carrydown.  It just might burn out on really dry back ends.  It's very responsive to surface adjustments--shines up really well, yet you can scuff it up and use it like a solid if you like.  Very low RG, very high differential, lots of flare.  I'm surprised Hammer discontinued it while leaving the other two of the early Diesels on the market.  I guess it was just a little too close to the solid particle version.  A very good, very aggressive particle pearl.

The power diesel really moves well. it is bigger in the midlane and less so on the backend but continues through the pin deck.

the freak out has a big backend for a particle ball.

that's just what I'm familiar with.
