The big thing I can tell you is that you may want to add surface to the Berserk if starting with it. High Street has more hold room and a higher oil line than some oil patterns.
Now, there is Pro Lane and then Anvilane. The difference between both is that Pro Lane will have the breakpoint markers towards the back of the lane whereas Anvilane will not. Also, Pro Lane is going to have less friction than Anvilane. In either case, Anvilane and Pro Lane are both slicker than any AMF synthetic surface I've seen (HPL, SPL, MAD II), especially with sport patterns. This means that the backends will be smoother. However, if the synthetics are 20 yrs old as you mentioned, there may be a worn track area where you can find some friction.
This chart helps describe the High Street pattern, along with showing suggested angles for different styles.
