This is an easy one…Aftershock.

I would think a better One Drop YoYo to compare would be the Valor vs. the Aftershock.  
That would have to be a toss up… IMO. They are both awesome YoYo’s.

The Gradient is also a great throw for its cost, but the Aftershock is the better throw IMO.

Just Sayin…

Aftershock for sure. I played a Gradient this past weekend and was not all that impressed. I love my Aftershock.
