Stiga Mantra is a fast and spin-oriented tensor Made in Japan. It comes in H, M and S hardness and it has been already reviewed by the TTD team.
Its normal price is around 40 EUR, but it can regularly be found on Amazon for around 20 EUR if you are a little patient. At that price point I believe that it would be very hard to find a better rubber in the same class. The only downside that I can find it is that the sponge is delicate and does not do well with peeling and regluing. The solution is to remove it very carefully and not try to peel the remaining glue, just apply a fresh layer or two over it.
I currently have the H and M paired with a Butterfly Primorac and it's a pretty perfect match; the feel and feedback are amazing. I also had it on a Stiga OC and Palio Energy 03 but didn't like those combinations as much, on the OC it was very very loud. I prefer the M for being easier to play at my level.
Have you tried them?
