Overstable Driver Slots Recomendations

I'm looking at getting two discs, preferable of the same mold. One to fill the very overstable/wind spot and and one to fill the slightly overstable driver spot (ideally, this would also be my main forehand driver).

Some info to help:
1. I mostly throw RHBH off the tee (90%-60% of the time, depending on the course), but I have a decent sidearm when I need it. I have a short, efficient stroke so I don't need anything too overstable for sidearm.
2. Main distance driver is a P-DD2 171g. I can throw it 400-425 on about 90% power (I virtually never throw full power). I can throw my TeeBird 350-375ft.

A couple of pairs I've thought of:

Very OS / Slightly OS
1. Champ Starfire / Star Starfire - When I used to play forehand dominant I had a Star Starfire that I liked. I'm worried the that the Champ won't be overstable enough for stronger headwinds. Also, I don't have much experience with the Champ, thrown a friends a couple times, it seemed more overstable than the star I had but maybe I'm wrong.

2. S-DD / P-DD - I've heard good things about these and I love the plastic on my DD2. Similar concerns as with the Starfire: will the S plastic be overstable enough?

3. C-PD2 / P-PD2 - Also heard a lot of good things about this, but I'm worried I don't quite have the arm to pull them off yet. For reference, I had a 175 Pro Boss that I could throw about as far as my DD2 but if I didn't throw it at least 95% power I would get no turn, and it would hyzer out too soon. Because the DD2 is slightly less HSS it's more forgiving. Because I had the throw the Boss so hard I had issues with control...

Thoughts from those with experience with these discs? Any other recommendations are welcome.
 
I don't think you have too little power for a C-PD2, should work well as a very overstable for you. Beat the P-PD2 in somewhat and I'm guessing it should work as a somewhat overstable to pair with the C-line one.

Can't recommend Boss for the disc you're looking for. Blitz doens't come in non-premium plastic so one would have to smack it against a wall for a long time to make it a slightly overstable compliment for a new blitz. Ape has the same problem I'm guessing.
 
I use Predator and OLF's for my OS / slightly OS setup and I'm extremely happy with the two. Didn't see those listed so I thought I'd toss them out there for you to consider.
 
I think you give the C/P PD2 a shot. sounds about right for you. The problem with PD2s is their skip so you gotta learn how to play it.
 
I love the Star/Champ Starfire but I didn't find them reliable once they beat in. I think the Avenger holds it's slightly-overstable characteristic longer.
 
Thanks for the responses.

I've decided on the C/P PD2 combo. Picked up a P version but have to wait on an online order for the C. Thrown it a couple of times and it's a bit more overstable than I'd like but it has a ton of flashing so once that goes I think it should work great.
