I’ve narrowed it down to these three:
I don’t have a red monometal and I want it to match the color in performance. I want something powerful, stable, and with premium feel and control. I’m also open to any other suggestions under $100.
Dopamine is nice but mowl makes better performance stuff.
Of the options you’re interested in I don’t think you can go wrong with either that are currently winning so you can probably just go with whichever of those two win and be happy.
To complicate your decision more I’d say get rid of the Thorn put on a Jugemu and a Linear and you probably have 4 of the best, currently available, red monometals. Any 1 of those 4 is a W.
Of these that I’ve played. I like the Dopamine more than my Linear and suspect the Dopamine and Vigilancia would be tied for my favourite monometals.
These were both in my list before I whittled it down. Jugemu just didn’t make the cut and Linear didn’t have any colors in stock that I like. I’m hoping they do another run with some more interesting splashes in the future.
I’m glad there’s two red Vigilancias in stock then. Once I sell some yos it’s between that and the earth fade for me but I don’t know if I want to spend even a little more just for the colour…
The right yoyo in the wrong color is always gonna be the wrong yoyo in the end.
For OP it was already said but get a Vigilancia if performance and good spin is what you’re after, or Dopamine if you’re willing to sacrifice performance for roundness and comfy factor.
So true and evidenced by the 9 horrible hot pink Vigilancias in stock. That yoyo is wrong, Mowl can do better.
Linear motion desert coral isn’t quite red but damn is it a good looking yoyo
Pickup a red TP St. Elmo 
Linear all day in any color!
Honestly, I would consider the newly dropped SF Motive which comes in red. It has an inn wr Bimetal design but feels like a mono. Plays very good.
