The match balls are better all the way around. They have tougher PU covers, better bladders, better seam bonding, better valves. They hold air better and tighter. They can take higher stress and air pressure. They have a more advanced texture and a non-gerenic panel pattern. If you're a player and enthusiast, you will recognize the difference... They also (for me) play more true/accurate, the padding and response is superior. The printing is awesome. The whole surface also has like a 'clear coat' that protects the artwork from easy scuffing.
Also a big tip: NEVER DEFLATE the higher end Adidas balls. This is something people do to cut down on shipping/package size and inadvertently it happens in long term storage (throwing it in sports bag or a shelf). The bladders can adhere to themselves and tear...and the covera will guaranteed permanently crease. Keep them inflated...always (at least a few PSI).
The mid-grade are good, too. But not like the match ball. Mid grades are typically tagged as a Match Ball Replica and have a lower FIFA approval rating. They call them Top Training, Top Replique,
The lower end are called Glider, Capitano, Training (not top training). Usually three are stitched, but they have started doing some with cheaper seam bonding. The covers are much thinner and easy to tear. If they get any weathering they harden and discolor quickly. Often they make these cheap balls as logo/team balls, neon colors, pink balls, etc, then jack up the price by $10.
They also have NHFS (school) and Competition balls which are usually more expensive than the Top Training, but personally I've found those to be less durable and the reviews often agree. Panels come loose, etc.
There are also Sala/Futsal balls...two grades. A standard and Top Sala. These are softer, don't have as much rebound and can be heavier. Meant for indoor use. They are stitched balls.
Here are some versions of the Al Rihla (World Cup Ball). You can see a lot just in the photos (panels, details, price, and descriptions).

The 2018 Telstar WC top training balls are junky. Most of the MLS top training balls have been bad... Don't know why those ones, but not great. Any ball with completely untextured (smooth) panels I would avoid.
Competition not a fan at all, which is weird because they're supposed to fill another tier above top training.
As I noted, a lot of youth players complain about the match balls, so top training is a good choice there.
For me, I definitely prefer the match ball. I have no reason to play another ball. The top training balls I get for the kids are still ok to kick around.
I ended up switching to match balls because I like the feel. We generally use my ball during our games (the facilities do not provide a game ball). I found it hard to keep track of my ball and lost at least one (e.g. Game ended, someone kicked the ball somewhere, everyone shakes hands, cannot find ball!).
So I ended up getting an orange winter (match) ball once, and I won't go back. I can quickly scan multiple fields and my ball always sticks out like a sore thumb. Haven't lost an orange ball in years!
The downside is the opponents always, always assume it is a junk ball. They will walk up with their $30 Walmart ball at kickoff and will grab mine and get ready to throw it off the field... Until they pick it up and realize it is nice. But it happens every single time. Still worth it though, to not lose a (very expensive) ball.
Maybe this will convince someone out there to try it out.
Lastly, as someone earlier pointed out, if you don't know the value of a good ball, this deal is not for you. But if you like playing and have never experienced a good ball, then do the typical slickdeals thing and buy now and think later.

Thanks for the info. I loved playing soccer as a kid, but have never played since elementary school.
