The quality control is just bad, especially the later batches

Yes and no. According to Ghostcuber(Stevin Wintringham) the newer batches with the tall boxes are the bad ones. While the older batch with the short cubic box is the best batch according to Stevin. IDK how easy it is to obtain the older original cubic box batched ones. But on the sidenote the Moyu RS(Standard) and Monster Go Pyra are good alternatives.

Yes, like others said, the newer batches are worse than the older, but they are still good. Looking at the most mained pyraminxes in de pyraminxers discord group, the ylm and weilong are by far the most mained ones.
And a lot of those ylms are new batches. Dutch nr holder uses new batch pyra to for example. (I do too)
The thing is: there is not a best pyraminx. Weilong and ylm are used a lot, but you can definitely prefer something else. I like the mr m too e.g. but I like the ylm too.
I used the bell v2 first, by then I tried others at a comp and I didnt like it that much anymore.

Put simple:
Unless you can get your hands on an old batch, the Weilong is generally a safer option.

I'm talking 2014 Dayan 2x2, not Tengyun. Like 42mm Zhanchi days

I had mine delivered a few days ago and it's pretty sweet. I haven't had time to break it in but it's definitely worth it. It has better turning then Icosaix or Radiolarian II, which have 1 direction turning iirc.

I'd go with the Radiolarian, it's the icosahedral equivalent to the FTO (in that it is a shallow face-turning puzzle with no centers). I can't comment on its turning as I don't have one.

In my opinion dont get a GAN pyraminx, its so locky. I recomment the Moyu RS M
