Hi macen,i would recommend you maybe hurricane 3 or three nine super 999t-i use it and it is fantastic.Great spin good speed and tackiness is insane-and i even didnt boost it,so..
And the best thing is price it cost only 5 $ on eacheng or if you want free shiping you can find it on ebay for 10 $

If you want a tacky H3, do NOT get the regular commercial #19 sponge, it is a fail without boosting. Go instead for the H3 Neo, the factory tuning is OK, but as time goes by, you can still use the rubber OK without re-tuning it. I use the H3 sometimes as a BH rubber, occasionally as an emergency FH rubber in humid conditions.

Another one to consider is to get a 999 topsheet glued to a sponge you like. Cole (colestt.com) will custom glue 999 (or whatever other topsheet he sells separately) to whatever sponge he sells separately. I would say consider 999 on 40 Quattro (he is out of 42) or 999 on Air 38 Lemon. That combo is like $15 to make.

Cream topsheet with MRS sponge is another good one to consider.

I use 999 sheet with original sponge and its pretty fine for me,i even didnt think about other sponge when i ordered it

For a very long time, 999 Chinese topsheet has been licensed out to other TT manufacturers, so there are a LOT of different possible 999 rubbers considering who all uses them, then there are the few retailers who carry the topsheet separately. Imagine gluing the nice consistent topsheet of 999 to a Tenergy sponge? Possible if you take enough time to separate the sponge from the topsheet of an old sheet you might have laying around. Even on a decent sponge like Air Lemon or Quattro, you get a LOT fro a $15 rubber you can depend upon and the topsheet is almost bulletproof.

Only problem ordering from colestt.com is if you are an international customer, the shipping makes it not worth it to buy just one or two things, unless you absolutely cannot find them, yet this is true about any retailer sending stuff to a buyer who is not on the same continent. If you buy $100 worth of stuff at a time, it is prolly still a decent buy compared to what you can find in your area.

I recently bought and test many cheap Chinese rubbers from taobao and one I love a lot is Sword King in red sponge. It is tacky like H3 with many degrees of hardness to choose from so one might fit if you like it hard. It is only half the price of H3 in taobao, but may be hard to find outside China. What surprised me most is the durability. I had accidentally nick the table 3 times with this rubber in 2 days. Yet after cleaning the smudge off there is not even a mark left. It is not possible with anything else, except H3 perhaps. I am impressed!

I see the TG3 is more than double the price of your blade of choice. N9 can be had for USD6 in China. I bet there are many cheaper rubbers play equally good, if not better, than TG3. So it might be a good idea to shift a bit of your budget to the blade and skip the TG3, unless you really love it of course.

My eternal BH rubber of XP 2008 Super Power is a great BH rubber for a controlled BH game, but it isn't tacky and isn't a FH rubber for most players.

H2 NEO sounds like OP's specs of choice, but there are all manner of rubber available and it is a joyous adventure to discover them.

eacheng.net sells a lot of Chinese gear on the cheap and their postage isn't terrible, but it can take a while for it to get to you and sometimes the postal service or customs or whoever slows it up or eats it. That is a risk with any international parcel though. The one time my stuff never made it eacheng re-sent.
