For longer patterns or high volume you can't beat the aftermath. keep it at box finish. Also keep it clean because it looks cooler that way
I think the RB is most useful on medium sport patterns. If you think about it, you want a ball to have a mellower reaction when it exits the pattern. The core on the RB is perfect for that. Add as much surface as necessary in practice to get the desired roll. I've only drilled one because I like it for what its used for. With heavy volume I feel it doesn't get into a strong of a roll as my pin down aftermath.
Compared, I would say the aftermath is much more overall hook but the RB is going to be your ball that gets you out in front on tough patterns.
The requiem is something else. I cannot use that ball out of box like people do on this forum. Only way I can get it to go through the pins correctly is with a coat of polish. I've drilled it 3x and all of them had trouble through the pins out of box or sanded down more.
