What do most people suggest in terms of texture of the belt ?

Orange = Smooth (hardness = Shore A 90)
Green = Rough
Clear = Smooth (hardness = Shore A 80)

What's the difference between clear & orange, mainly hardness ?

How does hardness affect ball collecting ability?
To put things in perspective, the average longboard wheel is between 70a and 81a. An average skateboard wheel is between 90a and 98a, depending on the brand.
