Second Dimension is easily the best.

  Reign Of Fire-  predictable roll and good carry on heavier oiled lane conditions.

The Reign.  I keep trying to replace it with something newer and better, but can't find anything to match it.  Damned thing just won't go away.

I am the one weirdo here but I really liked the Attitude Shift. I had mine cleaned regularly and even had it de-oiled a couple of times and this ball still rolled amazing for me. I could shine it by pad, lane shine it, or scuff it and have a ball that would get good length and good hit.
 
For me I think it is the core as I liked the Shift, Gravity Shift, Virtual Energy, and the original Virtual Gravity. The Nano and Nano Pearl were not my cup of tea as the covers were a lot different in my hands.

Original VG.  VE, Anarchy, and Nano Pearl were all bad core shell matchups for  my game.  Nano was good but just too condition specific.  Frantic is right up there too.
