The closest would be Tibhar Hybrid MK and Hybrid MK Pro (in terms of hardness and topsheet). The pimple geometry is different though and also the sponge density seems to differ.
Top Black Rubber sponge is Tibhar Hybrid MK Pro, while the red one below is DNA Hybrid H.
While the DNA Hybrid M is close enough to the Tibhar MK Hybrid, the Hybrid H version does differ more from the "MK Pro", since thy "Hybrid H" does have way less bounce on short touches, while the MK Hybrid Pro and Hybrid (regular) were pretty close.
One interesting sidenode regarding the Tibar Hybrid MK Pro. The sponges "durability" in terms of "regluing" seems to be rather bad.
I had two sheets that were removed from blades weeks ago accidently stick together (sponge on sponge). The other rubber was a Rakza Z and when i removed the sheets from each other only the Tibhar Hybrid MK Pro Sponge took damage basically leaving a few craters in the sponge while the Rakza Z sponge has shown no harm.
The DNA Hybrid M seems to have ok durability, while finger marks are easily visible after a few weeks of playing with it already.
I would not recommend any of the harder variants to you, but tbh i also would not recommend you using Dignics 09c on an Ovtcharov ALC at your stage, so my opinion is moot.

totally different rubbers, Rakza Z is closer to H3 Neo 40\41. DNA Hybrid H\XH are closer to D09c. I have all of them in different setups (H3, Rakza Z Extra Hard, D09c and DNAs)

for me DNA Hybrid H lasts approximately 100-150 hours (depending on how hard u play). After 100 hours it looks like a quite old rubber, but it still handles a ball and spins well. 09c is more linear, Hybrid is a bit less tacky, a bit bouncier, but feelings are similar. I personally prefer Hybrid H\HX over D09c

Platinum is crazy fast; I can't recommend it to folks who like full strokes or more timing in a rubber. I swtched from Platinum to Hybrid for my forehand, zero regrets. But I still use Platinum on my BH - it works really well for blocks and punches,

pretty old thread, but how does Hybrid M/H compare to Tibhar's K3 fx ? I would be using it on fh. Currently have xiom J&H C52,5 on fh and tibhar mk on bh. I switched rubbers for 1 game and while I couldn't handle over 50 defree rubber on bh, my fh improved a lot, so I am looking for under 50 degree hybrid rubber.

BS.
You have quite good setup.
MK is great bh rubber
JH 52,5 is great fh rubber
Dignics is great rubber on both sides
K3 FX...durability
Robisz sobie problemy bez sensu. To nie ma znaczenia większego. It doesnt matter If you change it. Your blades will still be too fast if you want improve.

I play basically every tournament with different set up anyway for more than 4 years already. Just having fun at this stage. Never used stiga rubbers, so I wanted to know how they compare to tibhar that I know. The only reason I am not using it now is like You said durability, 1 week and the rubber is good for donation.
W968 is not too fast for sure, at least the one I have. My old viscaria is under 1200 hz, so very soft, but yeah still too fast, so I lean toward w968 now

I have played with Mantra Pro for one year and do not find that it has worn out fast. Now the grip is getting slightly worse so I might exchange the rubber soon but it is still definitely playable.
