What qualities make a good 5A yoyo? And if I was to get a yoyo for both 1A and 5A, what would be my best choice?  
Thanks,  
Thomas

Genesis would probably be the best all around choice. A little cheaper, my Rally seems to handle 5a pretty well, but Im crap so take that with a grain of salt or whatever the saying is xD

What ever feels natural to you.  
But if you want the learning process to be as easy and boring as possible, go with something very wide and very stable.
