Which balls play best?

I like the blue circle, however, I do like the visual feedback of the measles... Which one I use usually depends on the set of balls I'm playing with. I use a measles ball with Super Aramith Pros, and the blue circle with Centenials. My favorite balls are the Centenials, therefore, the blue circle must be my favorite.
Raschig made in West Germany but they don't make them anymore. You can still find them out there though. I have 2 sets, 1 new and 1 I have used for years.
Measles cueball all the way
!!! 
I prefer the measles cueball, I seem to get the most consistent action with it.
I have both sets. I use the centenials with red circle cue ball for a year then switch to Aramith for a year. To me they are both the same except for looks. They both play great and are a good investment. I used to have a set of Hyatt Lifetimers but gave them to the guy that bought my Victor table years ago. Didn't think fast enough, should of gave him a standard set of Aramith with the table.
My favorite balls to play with are Centennials; I think the blue circle Centennial ball makes for very accurate playing. However, the red circle cue ball will draw more easily, not that I need that, but it's often preferred where I play.
The measles cue ball is good for the feedback it gives: immediate and never lies.
Which cue ball do I like to play most with? The one my opponents hate

P.S. If there's a set of object balls that are all from one set, but one or two of them are from another set, a different kind of ball, I won't say anything to my opponent. If he or she knows how to compensate for the differences in cut angles that often occur when switching from one to the other, and so on, all the more power to them. If not, it's to my advantage. Knowledge of how the different kinds of object balls react to various cue balls is very useful... You can take that to the bank
