Whether the rubber suits the blade depends on the person holding it, I think. You should probably give everybody a sense of how you play and what your strengths and weaknesses are, to get a more tailored response.

729 - Battle III is really nice and controllable with superb spin.
Yinhe - Big Dipper is even more controllable
If you want something complete untacky, check out 729 - Presto MAX Spin or Speed

H3/GA8 make sense.

if you want to go cheaper, Jupiter 3/Moon 12 is pretty much just as good at a fraction of the cost.

passive, aggressive when i have the chance i use long pips intermediate player still practicing on my loops and spins so i am looking for something that could easily do those

I think we need you to share about your level of experience and playstyle.

If you feel your techniques are not very solid yet where you make easy unforced errors, I will suggest you get softer rubbers eg. ESN brand rubbers at 42-45degrees (which u can find out more in this forum). This gives you a bigger margin for error when executing drives and loops.

If you struggle with the short game, you can consider tacky rubbers like DHS hurricane 3 neo and hybrid rubbers. The tackiness will give you more dwell time on the ball. But do note that due to the increase in dwell time, you need to have decent technique to loop and drive the ball using tacky rubbers since these rubbers tend to be harder. The softer ones I can recall are DHS hurricane 3 neo soft (37degrees), yinhe big dipper 38 degrees

I think you can go consider yinhe rubbers notably the yinhe moon (which comes in 42, 45, 47, 49 degrees), Jupiter and big dipper( which comes in 38, 39, 40 degrees) do note that the measure of hardness for moon and (Jupiter and big dipper) use different scales. So you can try moon (45 degrees) + Jupiter/big dipper (38degrees). These rubbers don't cost alot too which is always a plus

Just get commercial, or like the others said Friendship battle 2 or 3, yinhe jupiter 3 are all similar and available in 39/38° so not to hard for most. Even Loki rxton 3 or 5 might be good if budget is tight. Depends on preference also, so you got to try

A friend had 301 with ga8, it was briliant! An excelently balanced racket, easy to use, spinny and decently fast.

...something that has lots of control and spin

I tried it and didn't find control and spin to be the strongest points of this blade. First and foremost it's a fast offensive blade with flat trajectory and rather short dwell. It felt like a blade for an advanced, fast and very aggressive player.

GA8 is also a tenacious offensive rubber, it has good control for a tensor since it has a kind of a speed cap and keeps its' composure in high gear, but it is still a German tensor, very fast and bouncy. I used it for a year with an Acoustic and liked it a lot, it was fun to play, but the short game with GA8 is not the best and you will be prompted to attack serves and lift every long backspin, otherwise this combo doesn't make much sense.

So if you're confident with this offensive game, it could be a great weapon for you, but "lots of control" is definitely not about GA8 or H301/GA8 combo. You will need to be advanced enough where control is not your main concern.

I don't know your level, but if you'll find yourself overshooting and struggling with the short game in matches, then you might as well try Rakza Z, which does have LOTS of control and spin compared to GA8.
