DHS W968 National vs W968 Gold / W968S / Q968 for intermediate player — no booster

That’s incorrect, provincial is just referred to as W968 letters also.

I know, it’s not official W968 name, but it gets it’s nickname because it’s a modified Long5 but by national standard. So people usually refer to it as provincial version of W968, as it’s also serialized

Yes, it is likely that the name W968 has been used with the designation national or provincial, but that is not correct.
We use the correct name DHS W968-DHS HURRICANE LONG 5 (968) T.T. BLADE FOR MA LONG FL.
The only blade where DHS uses it in the official name is: N301-S-DHS NATIONAL 301 BLADE FOR CHINESE NATIONAL TEAM(CS)

I think, No 1, 2, 3 is the NATIONAL W968 (W968 No 0001). Sometimes they have thinner handle, sometimes thicker handle. They are the Player Edition ı believe.

Believe and think all you want, but as long as DHS doesn't disclose that information, the market for those blades is just about speculation and grey areas.

Which rubber setup (forehand and backhand) is best for these blades if I don't want to use DHS rubbers that require a booster and is that an acceptable approach?

FH: Dignics 09c
BH: Dignics 05
Blade: DHS S968

This would be a good combo for European style game.
