Need advice on equipment

This user has no status.
I've got two blades now, an Donic Ovtcharov Carbo Speed (FH H8-80, BH Bluestorm Z1 Turbo), and a Butterfly SA-01 (FH Acuda Blue P3, BH 729 Presto). The DO blade is the first blade that I bought on my own, and the butterfly one is second handed from my friend, so are the rubbers on it.
At first I had the Acuda Blue on my DO blade, but I guess 40 degrees is too soft for the super stiff blade to produce spin than on a softer one. (or it's my skill rather than the rubber per se) So I changed to a H8-80, wanting to try out a tacky rubber (seems the right thing to do for a Chinese guy), at the same time still have that bounciness for me to block. But then the racket felt a bit heavy for me, and the tacky rubber looks and sounds super disgusting, not to mention needing to clean it every time I play. But the BS was a bit too hard for me (50°), it's super fast and great for blocking, but the loop was worse than the Acuda.
Then I got this SA-01 from my friend, it was old and dirty, but there were no damage done. So I got my Acuda and his Presto and glued them on. The Presto was oxidized and had a scratch on the edge. Sometimes I feel It not gripping to the ball as it should (Some call it a nerfed T05?). Though its not fast enough but the controll's better so now I use this racket to practice.

So I need some advise on changing the rubbers. I'm BH oriented and I play offensively. Tacky rubber's not my thing and I prefer bouncier ESN ones so I can block. I'm opting for a BH rubber with better control on my DO, and one that's lighter for the FH. And I maybe want to change the SA01's BH first so I can practise my BH, a heavier one should do. I can't afford pricey rubbers such as T or D series Butterfly, but a Rozena is ok. Here's some rubbers I've heard of but don't know that much about, will anyone recommend these or not? Stiga DNA, XIOM Vega, Yasaka Rakza, Stiga Mantra.
