Just curious, why dont you want anything other than profile? Profile are good but..
Cult Match/OG Mix/Eclat/Shadow Raptor uses the same bearings, same driver design, improved pawls and springs, and improved axle for nearly half the price, and you will always have the ability to run pegs smoothly with them (minis are peg friendly but have a bad reputation when it comes down to it). If you really want to spend $200 on the rear hub alone, why not go for a Gsport Ratchet or Tree v3 which are atleast innovative and proven to be better? Or even a Shadow BTR.
I know you said dont put any other hubs into the mix, but seriously, you can get the same, if not better, for way cheaper. Im only trying to help you out and save you money. Sorry!
Out of your options id get the colony wasp just because profile doesn't have the best reputation and its cheaper.
Also, you said you dont grind or go backwards, so the wasp gives you that near instant engagement that will be handy for flowing around, and the shemale axle (3/8s bolts) wont get harmed from grinding. And its pretty cheap. I really like them. Not a fan too much of colony, but they did well on these hubs.
