I've read some good reviews about the catapult ! basically good speed/spin, slower than bryce but more controllable, faster than sriver...

Could you compare it to mark V, XS and GPS?

I can't find the "softness" rating of yasaka rubbers, any idea which of them are soft and which are hard ?

I have used catpult before but I switched to Andro Plasma 430 max, which is a lot better. More spin, speed and control.

sriver g2 is good for hitting, hard to create your own spin. cermet is a decent rubber i think you would be happy with it

Why is that ? Sriver G2 is rated spinnier than cermet and srivers. Also the G2 is softer than regular sriver...

catapult and cermet = bad not stable rubbers. Butterfly has very good brands - but not these two.

catapult and cermet  - both very bad rubbers comparing to what butterfly has.
Both not stable, not too spinny not to fast, no too much controll - just without any "personality"(specialisation)

So what would you suggest ? I'm hearing very controversial stuff about G2, at this point, I'm considering sticking with sriver ! I'm afraid bryce would be too fast...

Or maybe try some yasaka, but I don't have enough feedback on the mark V XS and the V stage
