The default choice, and for good reason: enough weight and give to soak up shock, so less buzz reaches your hands, plus it holds up well. Start here if you're not sure.
RoundTip shape
A ball tip with a small contact patch. The striking surface is the same at any angle, so the tone stays consistent and ride patterns come out bright and clearly defined.
