Answer 1

Just reading the 'headline' of your question and without knowing you had a list, my first thought was polycarbonate.

So... based on bits and pieces of related information I have accumulated in my head over the past decade, here's my top 3:

1. Polycarbonate

2. Carbon fiber graphite

3.(tie)  Titanium / Flexon
