They're so reasonably priced that they are all "worth" trying. I happen to like Match Ready Rubbed, and in particular, BSOSM and 759.

Hey, Sloopy...
The Match blends, by Sutliff, are brilliant! I have large quantities on hand at all times, in particular: Briggs Mixture, Holiday Mixture, Bourbon Street, Revelation, Ready Rubbed Match, Sugar Barrel, and Country Doctor. If you like burley, the true king of tobacco, and classic blends, you cannot go wrong with the match offerings.
Cheers,
Chili

Match 20 (Dunhill Match 965) is excellent. There are several other good ones, as well. I would further recommend Match Victoria (Dunhill Match Elizabethan) and Match Edgeworth Ready Rubbed as great blends. The Sobranie, Nightcap, and London Mixture Matches are good blends but, are not that similar to the originals.
Many (all?) of those match blends are made by Sutliff, and a lot of those are available at Smokingpipes and other vendors in bulk.
Sutliff Elizabethan/Victorian Match is probably my favorite. Also, BS 759 Match and BSOSM Match are quite good.
I've not tried many but Holiday Mixture was really good and I rather like Early Morning Pipe Match and C&D Epiphany.
Jiminks did a great writeup of most of the match blends you are inquiring about and I highly recommend seeking it out. I'll second Match Elizabethan and Match Prince Albert are particular favorites of mine.

I listed them all at TR.
Two I have in my rotation. Revelation; sometimes I add a little Perique to it. The other is Barking Dog, aka RL-BD, which takes a little learning to smoke--you either need to be sure to pack it lightly (best way) or you have to break up all those little cubes.
Lol, I actually look through your **** reviews and use them to help determine if it's what I'm looking for.
Now on topic here, your review on this, help convince me to buy 2 pounds. It is very good

Would you recommend the Match Ready Rubbed over the Ready Rubbed? I've always liked a burley with a light cocoa topping. Enjoyed the Ready Rubbed, never tried the Match.
I have only tried two, and liked them both: BSOSM and Match Hickory, the latter of which is discontinued. Lots of suggestions from other forum members, to me, indicates that there are some nuggets worth trying. As for nudging P&C personnel into the vicinity of at least adequate customer service...good luck, and godspeed! ?
The Lane Ready Rubbed has a little more cocoa than the Match, which has a little more molasses.
Well then I should try the Match as well -- I like a molasses touch a' la Granger
It has less molasses than Granger, but I think you'll like it. It has the most burley flavor of the three blends you have mentioned because the toppings are not as strong in the Match as they are in the others.
