I'm having some trouble understanding the fastarc lineup. Overall I've heard mostly good things. However I see lots of people use the G-1 on the fh, while many others use it on the backhand.

I've seen it compared to the tenergy series, G1 to 05 and S1 to 64. The arc graphs for both confirm this, where 05 and G1 have the highest arcs while 64 and S1 have the lowest.

Both T05 and T64 are regarded as good bh rubbers, however as far as I know 64 is better in that position. Would that mean that a G1 forehand and S1 backhand would be a good combination? Or perhaps a Nittaku Hurricane FH with a Fastarc Bh? Or maybe some other hybrid forehand?

What is it usually combined with?

I noticed a prevalence in recommendations of G-1 for the forehand while the Bh is split between C-1 and S-1.
According to some sales stats tho C-1 has been in the top 3-5 selling rubbers in Asia consistently over the last several years while S-1 barely makes the cut some months. G-1 is an immovable first place, with Rozena being a permanent second.
What's your experience with S1 C1 and the nowhere to be found P1?

Also read great reviews on Factive as BH rubber. Opinions on it?

One of my sparring partners use both G1 for FH and BH.

Our club players that use it use G1. I have tried G1 and P1, but really didn't notice much of a difference. Never seen C1
