You listed 5:10, Speshy, & Fox as leaders in sticky rubber.  But you've said Unparallel Up was the rival to 5:10's compounds.

That is true, they do have a very sticky compound, but I'd need to test one of their new shoes to see if they've improved the overall structure and construction before they make it onto any list of recommendations. The model I tested back in 2019 left a lot to be desired in terms of overall stiffness and support.
