Innova Aviar
Choose the Aviar if that is the putter you can replace easily and the bead feels familiar. Many groups already have one in a spare bag, which matters more than a glide number.

Aviar vs Judge
These two get handed to new players constantly. The flight numbers are close. The feel is the decision.
Innova lists the Aviar at speed 2, glide 3, turn 0, fade 1. It is a beaded putter, and there are several Aviar variants. This page means the standard Aviar mold, not every disc with Aviar in the name. Dynamic Discs lists the Judge at speed 2, glide 4, turn 0, fade 1. It is also beaded.
Inside the circle, those numbers matter less than whether the rim feels right in your hand and whether you are willing to practice with one mold for a month. A new putter every week is how people stay bad at putting. Pick one and throw it at a basket you can walk to.
Dynamic Discs Judge
Choose the Judge if you want the slightly higher listed glide and the profile feels better in a push putt. Put them both in your hand before you buy a stack. Plastic firmness changes the feel more than the stamp.

Questions about this choice
Will one make me sink more putts?
No mold does that by itself. Practice from the same distance with one mold will. Switching because you missed a 20-foot putt is how the bag fills up.
What about the Luna or the Envy?
Those are different tools. The Luna is listed more overstable. The Envy is often a throwing putter. They are on the putter list, not this either-or.
