globe 999 is pretty good for that, and its cheap. even 2.2 will be great for chopping with.

I think the hurricane 3 is pretty good for chopping. Generally tacky rubbers are above average for chopping correct?

Not if you're going to chop and hit with it. In the end there's gonna HAVE to be some tradeoff between looping and chopping. Personally I have found through my own testing and through what I've sold that a tacky topsheet on a soft but springy sponge around 1.8 provides the best balance.

I think H3 would be ok too. I'd try to find a batch that wasn't too terribly hard. Cream mrs is nice too. I know gcollins prefers cream on a 1.8 transcend sponge.
Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
