XXcel or Unleashed (which ever is more aggressive)
Impulse Zone
Zone Classic
Hot Rod Hybrid
Chose these based on drifferent drill types. Pin down/weight hole, pin down/no weightt hole, pin up/weight hole, and pin up/no weight hole. The ball also match-up and fit into each category pretty well. Experiment with different surface preps and then test your arsenal for any overlap.

I don't understand what is so funny about that, but anyways...I'm also going to be purchasing a Heat soon, I believe that is going to be a good med to dry lane ball. Anyways, thanks for the help again!
Nothing is really that funny, you just asked for advice on an arsenal, and then, instead of listening to any of the ideas, decided to keep two balls that overlap (for the most part) and buy a 3rd ball that overlaps those to.

I was late coming home one night from bowling.
She took all my bowling balls out to the deck.
Got them rolling and they all rolled in the lake down the enbankment near the lake. It was right at alligator feeding time so I left them overnight.
The next day about half were the same as their original color! I kept those!
The rest I tossed back in the lake.
Is that what's called a "Soaker"
Where's that lake now. There are over 50 bowling balls in my garage.
Give me a break!
Regards,
Luckylefty

Unleashed for mediums
The ball out of those that gets down the lane the best (through burnt heads the easiest)
Spare ball

I'm sorry buddy, I sold my Classic, Impulse, Formula, and XXcel to one guy who wanted all of them after rolling them! Otherwise, we could have made a deal. I do though have an Intense Inferno I'm thinking about selling if there are any takers for that. Also, if anybody knows of where I can find a New In Box Dry Heat 15 pounds, please let me know!

I think I have it figured out..from top to bottom I will start with the most aggressive to the least aggressive from Track:
Rule GP2 -- Heavy Hooker, out hooks everything in the bag
Animal -- Compared it to the Rule GP2, the Animal is smoother on the backend, not as aggressive, was not expecting it to outhook the RGP2 though.
Phenom Unleashed -- Still has backend supremacy power in my bag. Although the Rule GP2 I could play deeper and get the same carry, if I think I will not have enough control to adjust to the RGP2 I can always bring the Phenom Unleashed out and have a great mid-line reaction. Also, I get great mixer strikes with this ball!
X-Ception 5.0 -- Decided that I'm going to purchase one of these because it will be the only out of box polished asymmetric equipment I'll own.
Slash -- Picked a dull symmetric, the guy on Track staff here in town said it was exactly like the Triton Elite of old except with its dull surface had a smooth backend reaction, not all that jumpy...have this one on order
Heat -- This will basically be my dry lane ball unless I can find someone who has a 15 Pound Dry Heat, so if you know of anybody or you do have one that is NEW IN BOX, contact me by leaving a message here in the forum or by contacting me here.
Well, I feel this will be quite an arsenal. Any thoughts? I'm always open to suggestions...
