Well you haven't narrowed down what you want or how much you are willing to spend.
You need to know:
How big is your budget?
Do you want a stiff shaft or whippy shaft?
Do you want a soft hit or a firm hit?
What wood would you prefer?
What cuemakers are local?
What ferrule do you want? Ivory
What joint do you want? 3/8x10
Do you want it decorated?
What kind of taper do you want?
How long do you want the taper?
There are tons of cuemakers on the forums that will happily make you the shaft you want, but only if you provide the information they need.
I shoot with a Jensen cue 3/8-10 pin wood to wood with a LD shaft. I've heard you shouldn't put ivory on low deflection shafts I thought about putting ivory ferrule on the original shaft. I like a stiff hit wasn't sure if ivory plays better with a certain taper and joint style.
Yes, putting an ivory ferrule on an LD shaft will cancel out any low deflecting characteristics of your low deflection shaft. Not because it's ivory, but because it's heavier and you want the end mass to be light.
I'm assuming you want Ivory, just because it's Ivory. If so, that's a stupid choice. An ivory ferrule has a very "different" hit. If you want a stiff hit and an LD shaft, get a Tiger Ultra X LD shaft with a saber-t ferrule.
If you just want a stiff hit, you want old growth conical taper shaft with a ferrule like melamine.
Changing the ferrule would effect the deflection but all of it? FWIW, a local hot shot 9 ball player damaged the ferrule of his Z2 shaft, got it replaced with whatever a cue ball is made of (I know the composites vary) it was from an actual cue ball. He damaged that too, replaced it with ivory and never turned back.

No way man. You want a stiff hit and LD then go with the mezz hybrid pro2 or alpha shaft!
