Picking up a cue lathe and want to do tips for my local leagues, ( yes I know you don't need a lathe) and shaft cleanings. I want to stock a few tips, some budget friendly options like Le Pro, and some layered tips. Any suggestions? Also where's the best deals these days.

Ultraskins for sure. around 4bux ea. great tip, great price. buy direct from them.
 
Ultraskins and ElkMaster are my goto brands. I've put on Tiger Everest and Sniper tips and those performed and looked great too, simply a bit more expensive, might get a decent deal on those if buying in bulk.
 
You really cannot go wrong with the Ultraskins and SIB's. Thoroughbred and Kamikaze are options too. They are inexpensive enough to have a nice stock without breaking the bank. The type of league and its clientele will determine your stock as well. I am in two different leagues. One is not into what's trendy or techy, so I do 99% Ultraskins and SIB's with them. The other is more carbon fibers and higher end cues so they are more opinionated and do 50/50 with them. Talk to your people to see what is popular there. Some you can convince to switch away from the expensive hyped brands and some won't. Have a labor only price for supplied tips. Some people order their own or actually carry extra brand-X tips in their cases so they will supply. I keep a handful of the more popular other brands to be ready when needed.

Techno dud tips are darn good and hold up very well ! Pool dawg on here makes some good milk dud tips also at a reasonable price .

As for a more expensive tip I like the G2 med , you're results may vary .
 
I have a few Thoroughbred tips on the way. They look nice and I heard good things about them and they are cheap for layered tips - $10 a tip, could be a good option for customers who don't want to pay $20-$30 for a tip + work
