The longer pattern, 43 feet, is pretty flat and the volume is not that high (40mL). Without knowing much about your game, I will suggest what I would guess if I were bowling. Now, keep in mind, you are going in August and there are three new balls that I have not thrown so I might change my mind.
I would probably have a Kinetic Energy. For me, the Rising with this volume of oil, might be a touch too light. It would probably give me a look on the fresh bet not as they break down.
The short pattern has very heavy volume (50mL) and I think it was very short at 34 feet. I would use my Temper. I have one drilled with a RICO layout that I would use at 1000. With this high of volume and this short of pattern, you need to get the ball to read quick and then slow down as it exits the pattern. These are at least how I would think of attacking them before bowling. How they break down depends on surface, cross, etc. As always, keep an open mind.
From what I have heard about the UpRising, it might be a good play on the long oil pattern but without having seen/thrown it, I can't confirm. The Tantrum might even be a good play if the lane surface is high friction.
