The new VICTAS VS > 401 rubber offers the perfect balance between a tacky control rubber and a variable offensive rubber. The German and Japanese material experts (GJ Tec) developed an extremely tacky surface for vicious backspin forcing your opponent into mistakes. The slightly more compact sponge neutralizes your opponent's attacks, thus providing for fantastic control. The High Energy Tension top rubber sheet also offers sufficient speed for sudden and dangerous attacks. VS > 401 is the perfect tool for all-rounders who need sufficient power for their own attacks in addition to great control.

This rubber is meant for chopping, so I bought it intending to use it for defense, but my attacking habits kicked in and I ended up just doing topspin drives with it — and this rubber puts an almost comical amount of spin on drives.
Personally I wish they'd release a slightly softer version, but the spin and attacking power are insane.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This is the hardest rubber I've felt out of everything I've used so far. Besides putting it on my Def Play Senzoh, I also tried it on a Matsushita Koji Defensive blade, and I think the Matsushita Koji Defensive might actually suit it better.
Chops are incredibly stable, and reverse pushes cut so sharply you feel like you could win the point with that alone!
That said, because it's hard, attacking is difficult. As someone who normally uses Vega, the arc felt too flat — shots I expected to land often didn't. It's also heavy, so you might end up a bit late on your swing too.
I'd recommend it for defense-focused players who want to grind out sharp chops and pushes!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This is the hardest rubber I've used out of all the rubbers I've tried so far. And it's heavy.
Because it's hard, I think it'd be difficult to handle for players whose style is to sink the ball into the sponge.
However, chops and pushes are extremely stable. If you brush it properly, it's easy to get spin on the ball.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Serves cut really well, and if you really rip the spin you can even produce something like a dead-ball (no-spin) chop, so I think it's a good recommendation for someone who already has the basics of chopping down.

This is a very easy rubber to use. It works really well for both chops and topspin drives.
That said, maybe the rubber itself is weak, because it gradually starts crumbling and peeling from the edge. Having it get pretty worn out after about a month is a painful expense.
But the rubber itself is my top pick!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I borrowed this from a chopper classmate. No complaints at all with either chopping or attacking. It felt pretty hard, but that hardness is exactly what makes both attacking and chopping easy. Because it's hard, when you attack with full swings you get great speed and spin with no complaints. Blocking was also easy since the hardness makes it less affected by incoming spin. Chops stay low nicely too (though I'm not a serious chopper...). That said, I think it's a rubber like Tenergy 25 where people either love it or hate it. I didn't feel it was heavy, but I had long pips on the other side, so I can't really say. Also, if you serve with a thin contact you get plenty of spin, but if you're not used to thin contact or aren't good at it, you'll probably feel like you can't get any spin out of this rubber at all. Still, I think it's a rubber that really benefits choppers, so I'd recommend using it. You'll also find out for yourself whether you like a hard rubber or not.

Push
Really sharp. It also comes in with a low trajectory, so it's hard for opponents to smash
Pushing with a driving motion produces a fast push
Receive
It feels less affected by incoming spin, so it's very easy to receive
Serve
Since it doesn't bounce much, backspin serves where you brush under the ball tend to have trouble clearing the net
Other spins come out extremely sharp
Chop
Really easy to use. You can keep the ball low without using much force
It also gets good spin
Topspin drive
Since the rubber is very hard, it's difficult without power
If you don't have much power, brushing the ball instead of sinking it in produces a spinny loop
For the smash, aim the racket face perpendicular to the table and slightly toward the back, and it goes in nicely
Beginners can use it tooAll Speed Spin Control
