correct answer.

I'm not as familiar with DisCraft plastic. I know I once had a Surge that was way too flippy and don't want that again. Years ago I threw a Marauder (back in the mid 90s) and I loved that disc...lost my last one in 2006.
The Marauder was the last Discraft Disc I threw regularly and the Surge was the last Discraft disc I tried to keep in my bag but it was just too flippy for me.
What's most comparable to Innova Plastic?
I like Star and DX the best. I don't throw any Champion Plastic and only occasionally throw pro plastic. I have a R-Pro Boss I only put in my bag when I play a course with a long, long wide open hole and I sometimes will put a pro Katana in the bag.
This is great information.

also get a stalker. and maybe an avenger. also perhaps an avenger SS. THOSE ARENT THE DISCRAFT DRIVERS I HAVE IN MY BAG RIGHT NOW THOUGH...
Plastic comparison:
DX = Pro D
Pro = Elite X
Champion = Elite Z
Star = ESP
DX = Pro D
Pro = Elite X
Champion = Elite Z
Star = ESP

I put my order in. Here's what I decide on after reading all these posts and talking to two friends that play Discraft discs...
An ESP Nuke (169 - 172 grams)
An Elite Z-Stalker (168 - 173 grams)
An Avenger SS (168 - 173 grams)
2- ESP Buzzz (168 - 172 grams)
2- Elite Z Comet (168 - 172 grams)
2- Elite Z Hornet (168 - 172 grams)
2- ESP Meteor (168 - 172 grams)
I'm most likely going to put these into my CTP bucket for tournaments I run. I might try throwing a Buzzz. That's the disc I seem to hear the most about.
Thanks again for all the feed back.

The Discraft discs I'd recommend are pretty much all the "popular" molds such as...
Z Buzzz - Z is the most consistently stable plastic for buzzz's imo.
Z Stalker - The most accurate disc in my bag not to mention one of the most accurate on the market, to me it's like a slightly slower and slightly less stable teebird.
Z or ESP Predator - The best overstable driver on the market today. Z is more stable but I prefer heavier ESP's as they stay straighter longer for me.
and a couple other molds I myself have recently fallen in love with...
Z Comet - This thing gets so much love on the net I don't know why it's taken me so long to pick one up finally threw one the other day and they're amazing. So much glide so much D so little effort. It's very much a hybrid fairway/mid to me.
Z Hornet - A midrange predator, If you're looking for an overstable mid that isn't a meathook like the Drone this is it. Very pred like flight as it stays straight for about 75% with a hard predictable fade.
Hope this helps!

168 katana- Probably the new x nuke, or a flippy esp nuke
172 valk-z xs, or x avenger
172 wraith- esp surge
173 starfire-Maybe a z flash?
153 viper- Well if it was heavier it would probably fly closest to a z pred
Never thrown a scorpian
Eagle- Z stalker, tracker
stingray- x comet maybe? meteor? glide?
170 star mako- esp buzzz
180 star mako- z buzzz
x xd- ringer
Aviar- challenger maybe?

If you have some credit leftover after this Discraft binge, pick up a Latitude64 Goldline Flow (slightly understable wraith), or River (slightly understable glidey eagle). Amazing plastic, and their whole lineup of discs is pretty solid.
As for Discraft, try out an XL - valkyrie-like.
And Hornet for a nice overstable mid.
FLX plastic is also very nice, I prefer it over regular ESP when possible.

After I ordered my discs...I got an email with a code for the credit asking that I just order what I wanted. I went through a bit quicker than I should have but here's what I got...
Elite-Z Avenger SS Driver
Elite-Z Stalker - Fly-Dyed
X-Bzzz-Flydye Discraft Elite-X Buzzz
dc-z-cmt Discraft Elite-Z Comet w/Bryan McClain Open Stamp
dc-z-hornet Discraft Elite-Z Hornet
ESP-Bz-spr-clr Discraft ESP Buzzz SuperColor
dc-x-nuke Discraft Elite-X Nuke Driver
dc-z-hornet Discraft Elite-Z Hornet
I also picked up 5 birdied bags.
This comes from DiscGolfStation.com, they wanted to be a sponsor of one of my tournaments. It ended up being $150 in credit in exchange for hole sponsorship. My tournament will now have a Discraft CTP with the prize being four of these discs and two birdie bags.
The other I will probably throw and see if I like Discraft discs...
