Wheel Setup

I know how there's too many threads with people asking what wheels to buy but I have a specific case. I'm getting some new wheels and I know that yaks are horrible to put in the back so I was thinking I'd put a yak pro in the front and put some other good wheel in the back like maybe a hyper hyoctane (if I can get one). I'm not sure though. What is probably the best back wheel to get. I'm not talking about what wheel you like in general (although that may work), I asking what you have found to be the best BACK wheel.

I'll look at Go 2's. I've seen places that sell hyper hyoctanes and it looks like they only come in 90mm . Is that bad? is that too small to use?

green machines are 104mm, not 105. protos dont suck, the first batch did. get an eagle or old micro for the back.

^^dont bag on protos if you have never ridden them??
im still riding one of the very first blk protos in the back and its not ovalized at all
alittle chunked but thats about it if you want plastics i would get hypers or agent orage cuz they dont make gms anymore and goII are really slow back wheels but have very hard pu that prevents most chunking

I dont want a metalcore cause I don't exactly have $70 burning a hole in my pocket. If I can get sum green machines or hyoctanes I'll probably use those. If not I might just go with a low profile yak. Any better ones?
