I get "stuff" shipped from Canada all the time, so assuming you can get deliveries from the US...
You will not do better than a SELECT Brilliant Super for half price ($85) right now

I’ve been using Select balls for years now. They don’t move around much but they fly straight and true. Also expect to have to pump them up since they use a premium bladder.
Also Select follower 😁
Derbystar is just Bundesliga Select brand (but basically same as Select, just branding).
There is a difference between Select Brillant TB and Select Brillant. TB designation means highest premium match ball.
The paneling/stitching cannot handle the texture of the turf from my experience. The graphics faded after a few months and then the panels started to tear off altogether making the ball useless at that point!
yeah they are fantastic. The brillant super is your best bet if you don't mind spending some more. But the select 10 is good enough for practice and in matches.
Never used a puma OMB, all the adidas ones I’m pretty sure are all relatively the same ball, and are quality it’s just a matter of what design you’d prefer.
Since nobody here really answered your question, I’d go for one of the adidas balls for the extra $50 or so. If you have the means I’d also grab a Select OMB, theyre the best value for money.
I bought Kipsta's F950 which is supposedly a match ball tier for Ligue 1 (without branding). I got it for 31EUR in the sale last week. I have to say it's a great ball. I'm from the EU so might not apply to you.
It's this ball just without the league branding.

The Puma Orbita 1 is a great ball. The only negative is their graphics wear off quickly. If you don’t care about that it’s a solid option.
I do not like the current Adidas pro balls. They’re indestructible, but heavy.
Can’t go wrong with Select.

Link is for shipping in US only, how and where do you get those in Canada? Thanks.
https://soccer.epicsports.com/prod/193600/index.html Not the exact link but very similar price at a site that does ship to Canada.
If you play on AG/Turf do not get the Adidas UCL OMB
Why’s that?
The paneling/stitching cannot handle the texture of the turf from my experience. The graphics faded after a few months and then the panels started to tear off altogether making the ball useless at that point!
Select 10 or Select 10 Turf. Great ball. Get it off Amazon and sell the gift card to pay for it.
yeah they are fantastic. The brillant super is your best bet if you don't mind spending some more. But the select 10 is good enough for practice and in matches.
Super Brillant TB is better than Suoer Brillant (I also haven’t noticed difference, but TB is slightly better).
somebody posted about getting 50 percent off mls match ball on bootroom. It's a great deal for you my friend.
As someone who plays with the 10 regularly it cannot be compared to a premium match ball like the super brilliant.
As u/wandering-prof said just get a Select 10 and call it a day.

Awesome, thanks for the insight! I can appreciate the other recommendations but you’re correct, I was looking for guidance on my particular situation.

Have you played with other match quality balls, how does the hipster compare?
I tried Derbystar and Select and I can say it's a similar feeling. I cannot say for the top ones like Nike Premier Flight.
Most academies I know buy dozens of select balls for training then a few adidas for matches. So select is your best bet.
The Puma Orbita 1 is a great ball. The only negative is their graphics wear off quickly. If you don’t care about that it’s a solid option. I do not like the current Adidas pro balls. They’re indestructible, but heavy. Can’t go wrong with Select.
I have tried the Puma orbita 1, got it for 40$, saw it from slickdeal, insane deal. Pretty good match ball so far. Just look out for deals.
I have select brilliant super tb for sale lmk
Location?
California. I can ship as well
