I’ve only had a Yuuksta so I can’t say about the other two. The Yuuksta has no real lip for thumb grinding, so if you want a thumb grinding yoyo, look at the other two. I really liked the H-shape of the Yuuksta; it played fast and stayed really stable. For a while the Yuuksta was my go-to yoyo when I practicing or needed an all around yoyo that could handle my (sometimes messy) freestyles. I would recommend a Yuuksta from my experience (unless you really want to be able to thumb grind easily). Small, but not too small. Definitely comfortable in the hand. I haven’t played with a Protege, but it looks like a good shape to me too. ---

I’ve got to recommend the Protege over the Yuuksta actually. I’ve owned both and found the Protege to be far more stable than the Yuuksta. It may just be me, but the Protege is one of my favorite throws and I couldn’t get rid of my Yuuksta fast enough. ---

The Protostar and New Breed indeed very good for any player, but if you are trying to find a high class or high end metal which will out-perform many yoyo’s and be able to handle anything, Yuuksta is the line. Although I’ve heard that the Protege is very beast and, at the same time, similar to the Dv888. But it seems as if everyone recommended Yuuksta and i recommend it too. ---
