Brand New Tables or Replacement Rubber?

For Replacement Rubber there are multiple types...

Artimus is a very popular consistent rubber.
 
GC I and II, good ole Monarch Cushions made in Chicago.
3, 4 and 5, imported Superspeed.
Old Diamond tables, Championship cushions.
New Diamond tables, German made Artemis cushions.

The Brunswicks use K55 profile cushions. (Monarch, True Speed and Super Speed are all K55 profile.)

Diamonds use K66. They were designed / engineered for K66 from day one. The newer Diamonds use German Artemis K66 cushions (an excellent choice).

If you use K66 profile on a Brunswick table the playfield will grow a minimum of 1/4”. The point of the rubber must be at least 8mm or 5/16” above the center of the ball. Center of a 2 1/4” Pool ball is 1 1/8” so tip of rubber should be 1 25/64" from the bed of the table.

If I had a Gold Cown and needed to replace the cushions I'd go with K55 since the table was designed / engineered for K55.

Actually Diamonds currently use Artemis "Intercontinental 66" which is a
K55 profile.
