All my playing cues have ivory ferrules and all, except for one cue, have Kamui Clear Black Soft tips.

Ivory is rather stiff, so might want to balance it with a bit softer tip. Go with medium or medium soft and use a layered tip to lessen the stretching load onto the tip (mushrooming means stress to the ferrule).

Also Ivory is a natural material, so it's imperfect. You might want to protect it a bit more by using a Kamui clear (for the pad below the leather) or use a carbon fiber pad below the tip (like OB does).

Cheers!

No such thing exists, tip prefrence is a subjective thing.
If you tell us what you play with now, and how you like that tip, it's easier to come with suggestions.
