Actually, the Scarab replaced the Destructor and has already been replaced by the Destructor 2.
The difference between these mousemats is very small. The Scarab is a tad bit more slippery/ easier glide than the destructor (seems to have a finer grain). They are more or less the same and provide pretty much the same balance between glide and grip. I would go for whichever one you can get a deal on/ is cheaper. One problem with the scarab is that it is quite common for the ones that are left to not be completely flat, but arch up in the middle, because of the way they are packaged (too much pressure on the sides in a tightly fitting case, or at least that is what I think causes it). This is most commonly seen in (But I don't know whether it happens exclusively to) the standard grey Scarab.
Whether you like it or not is highly personal, and I think there is no point in really suggesting anything else (I for example prefer cloth), since there is nothing wrong with these mousepads. Also, they are a safe bet in the sense that they kind of provide a middle of the road. They are not very heavily textured and grippy compared to some, not super slippery smooth with maximum glide. Also, they are not massive in size, but not small either. In that sense, I think they are a fine mouse mat to start off on once you have established that you do in fact want to have a hard mouse mat.
