I agree about the unhappyness of LLs gear. If you are looking for a sure thing go with the JDs stuff he is the Original and with his gear you will not have any worries.. you get what it says.
"Easy Rider" is a LR#2 x AK-47 and is one of the best yeilding AFs thus far but they do take on the Sativa side and go 70-75days. Well worth it, and you can get them Feminized from seedsman
also there is LR#2 that JD says is still his best.
good luck and let us know what you choose and post a grow diary here if you can.

i've grown both ll and jd's gear and have had nice outcomes from both..., i have seen more mutations with ll's in the first few sets of leaves but they always grew out of it just fine. The lowlife mixpack i grew out for my first ever auto run were the most vigorous plants i've seen, but i've had a few setup changes since then so it's probably not a fair comparison. In my opinion i think you'd be happy with either brand... if you can afford it why not run a pack from each breeder side by side and see what the outcome is?
I am about 17 days into my AK47 X Diesel. Its been pretty easy. They just started flowering.
I got some growing in coco and some in soil. The coco is growing much more quickly. I am excited to see what the taste differences are like.
