I just drilled up a Loco Pearl. I was surprised how much backend this ball has on drier conditions. The solid may be more suitable for a controlled backend reaction.
I don't have any recommendations on the Ebo family. If you were interested in AMF/900G, the following two might be good choices:
For Heavier patterns: Black Ops - just a great core/cover combo, rolls really well for just about everyone I've seen throw it.
For the Drier patterns: I like the AMF Xcite series
