As far as which is best?
It's different for different cues. I had a Schon with an OB-2 shaft and I absolutely hated it. Also, a few years ago I had a Z-2 and I loved it. Everyone was telling me that the OB-2 had a stiff hit to it but even with my stainless joint it still felt like I was hitting with a rubber tip. The Z-2 has that firm hit that I liked and I would've gone back to it but I upgraded to a custom. When I went back to a normal shaft it took me a bit to get used to so if you're shooting fine with your norm shaft I would stick with that.
I hope that was your question and I hope I gave a little bit of an answer!

it is all a matter of personal preference. If you are changing cues more than your underwear lol, then a ld shaft would give you the same feel and confidence in your shots everytime. Over the past few weeks I have "test-drove" a predator 314-2, OB1, OB2, and a predator z2. I have owned a few ob1's and ob2's. My personal favorite is the ob1 because of how it feels for me. to me a predator doesnt give me the same feel, but that is just my preference. Try to get some playing time (more than a few shots, more like a few hours each) with each shaft and come up with your determination.
If this is a general question you might get more response in the main category.
"Cues: Tim Scruggs, Wes Hunter, Cory Barnhart, Eric Crisp Sugartree, Jacoby"
My take is that if you own all those top-notch cues, you don't need any of the shafts you listed. But I recognize that need isn't always so relevant.
