They would all fit, but if you tell me which rubbers you have used before and what you probably expect from your new rubber I should be able to tell you which fits best.

Well ... The main difference between the Hype rubbers is in their names and numbers.

The EL versions are elastic, with a softer topsheet, optimized for spin. Depending on whether you like it softer or harder, try 42.5 or 47.5 on either backhand or forehand.

The XT versions have a tendency towards speed and power play. The 50 degree version is not the easiest rubber to control, due to its hardness - the 40 degree version, despite its soft sponge, is still a power rubber.

The KR is somewhere between EL 47,5 and XT 50. It is faster than EL 47,5, not as fast as XT 50 but produces more spin than both.

For a spinny close to the table game I would go for EL 47,5 or KR. Of course, if you are an advanced player, you will be able to generate more spin from the harder rubber, so go for XT 50.

On intermediate level, also EL 42,5 would be suitable for opening spinny shots and you could pair that with XT 40 for blocking and countering.

So, like I said, they would all fit to your blade and your game. Choose according to personal preference.
