I do like to throw the ESP Predator into a headwind because it will flip up, go straight and then tail off at the end. YMMV.
For your distance maybe a Wraith or a Destroyer would work good, but go with Star or Champ plastic. I like to use Star Boss, but when it is really strong headwinds I will upgrade to a Firebird. You might not like the meathook effect the firebird had when you tested it, but as your game develops you will find Yourself going to those kind of disc more often.

A large portion of the parking lot is clear, so I have plenty of room to drive. There was a fair to moderate headwind, which turned the hell out of my hyzer flip backhands with understable plastic. So I got out the heavy artillery: a star Max, Monster, and Xcaliber for some flick action. I was standstill flicking and getting huge flex shots averaging around 300 feet. They would cruise for awhile, especially when the plate of the disc was facing into the wind, but always came back at the end. I think the Monster is 167 while the other drivers are max weight. I don't usually throw those drivers but I was very impressed with their performance!
