It should be a good set up, but I probably would not but max. on the FH.
If you are used to Sriver on your BH, why not stay with that, EL or FX.

Max. on the FH may compromise your short game but if you have tried max and like it then it may be fine.
I have not tried too many rubbers on the BH. I have tried Sriver G3, which is higher throw and it gives good control, but it is faster than Sriver.
BH, 2.0 should work.
I am using Focus III snipe for BH and like it a lot: light, easy to control, but not too fast.

YEO is around a OFF- to OFF.
I have not tried the Stiga Active (a 7-ply). I personally like a 5-ply wood for CPen. Both Yasaka and Stiga make good CPen blades.
I haven't tried the Stiga NCT offensive but I think this would be a good choice too.
Rakza, I have not tried. I am guessing it would be between your T64 and Sriver in speed and spin.
Have you checked the PM I sent you?

I haven't tried the Active.
YE (ALL+ to OFF-) and YEO (OFF) are quite popular for the CPen players.
If you are look for an all wood OFF CPen blade with 2 inverted rubbers, YEO would be my first choice. :)
