Demo all of them and pick one you like.

Demo as many as possible. All racquets you mentioned are good suggestions. I would add the Babolat Pure Storm Tour GT and Pro Kennex Black Ace 98 to the list as well.
BTW Dunlop AG4D300 Tour sounds like a great platform frame. Curious how it 'll play with leather grip and some lead at 3 and 9.

It's amazing how many high level players know very little about the tools they use.
They play the game rather than dissect the parts.

You're right. I am always very surprised how few people into my region have knowledge about racquet science. They didn't often even heard about the term swingweight.
Our 1st team players from the club (about 5.0- 5.5 level) used to play with frames like Dunlop 500 Tour, Dunlop AG300 and Wilson KBlade 98. All in stock condition because they never heard about customizing with lead. ;-) In spite of this lack of racquet knowledge they still play a terrific game and while proper technique is much more important than gear I am sure they 'll benefit from heavier and more solid frames.

Well tour pro's are "higher level guys" and they all like pretty high swingweights.
To answer the thread - Head YOUTEK Prestige MP (with some lead) because it is slightly unstable in stock form.

That's very true.while warming up before my tournament my partner broke his strings and started using his arthur ashe competition. He did lose a considerable amount of depth on his shots, but was hitting consistently and as well as ever.
btw I recommend a prestige mp or mid because both have an impeccable solid feel and amount of control.

The best racquet for a 5.0 player is whatever is closest to the racquet that he's been using for all those years that's allowed him to get to 5.0 level.

I like this ... if you unsure and want to start playing with different rackets, why not get radical
Anyone who answers this question with a specific model is probably to be ignored. All of those are viable frames for a high level player (if you really are the NTRP level you say), and the "best" will depend on your specific game and taste. The answer to your query isn't on these boards, but on the court, where you should demo them all.
