As for the badgers after involving in about 100 knots my opinion is:

Black: tough,great backbone
Pure: not so tough.good backbone
Mixed: not tough,between those above,a nice surprise
Finest: never worked for me no matter the source
Best-Super: "i wanna be soft" but many times failed,not happy with some of them
Silvertip: "my name is soft", expensive although the cheaper can do the job
