Liked the Nino, the Wrath and the X-it. HATED the gold.

 Never had the 2000 or the La Nina. Wanted the 2000, but couldn't afford it at the time, so I got the power bolt (which had the same cover), which wasn't the best choice.

I still have the original El Nino, and it still comes with me to tournaments.  It has a look that I don't get with other equipment in that I can still play outside of everyone else with it.  Back in the day, it was the first ball out of the bag, and served as a good benchmark ball.

I gave away my original El Nino to my dad's friend.  Wish I had that one back right about now lol.

The Wrath for me was the best of the whole series. What i liked about it was it was one of the first pearl/particle balls, and it gave you a reaction that was different from alot of other stuff at the time.

I liked the El Nino, but for me it didnt carry as well as the Wrath. I struggled to get the corners out with it when moving deeper, the Wrath gave me a better look from in, but that was probably 90% drilling, and 10 percent operator error!

I had most of these balls and I'd have to say it's a tie between the Wrath and the 2000.  Both played very well from multiple angles.
