Witch hop up rubber is the best?

Hello, i want to change the hop up rubber on my rifle and i was wondering witch type is the best that i can buy? i herd that the Firefly are the best above the systema ones but i see that thei are tow types soft for below 1j and hard above 1j. I just want to buy the best that i can, my gun is a JG G3 SG1 and it is shooting around 350 fps whit a long barrel. Can you help me whit this info? Thanks

I think it is 400fps and above you use a hard hopup rubber and a soft one for under 400fps. I don't really know witch one is best but a systema hopup rubber should do you fine.

From what I hear, Guarder Black

I'm a fan of the RH serise of rubbers though.

For 350 and under, the Guarder Clear ones have been great for me. The Firefly ones are excellent - soft for under 328, hard for over 328. I've been told by some Filipino players that the Element clones of the Firefly hopups are junk and tear very easily.

I am exclusively using Prometheus.

Black for low FPS setups, red for high FPS.

Under 350 get a black, over go for the red.

They don't tear in my BA with a 600+ setup.

I'd replace TM with guarder, TM has a good rubber but it does wear out and guarder has a pretty high performance piece.

Aren't the Prometheus soft rubbers purple?

Yeah, Prometheus soft is purple.

I've heard good things about the Element blue from HK people over at Arnies.

is there any other hop up rubbers that are purple?
the one I found in my stock AUG was purple which is really strange because I thought all TM stock rubbers are black

I've never seen TM as any colour other than black...

I'm not aware of any other rubber that's purple besides Prometheus.

I agree with KM RH series new type being very good, but when you get to the RH65 and especially the RH75, you quickly realize why they say these are meant to be only used with KM inner barrels. The fact that you're locked to just one brand of barrel makes them lose a point in my eyes, and as a result, I have to favor Firefly over the KM brand. The Firefly hop up rubbers also feature the V-notch, which is to increase accuracy in hop up flight - not for speed.
