Best tip
That's debateable. But I'm not sure how much a debateable costs these days.

It's all about how much your willing to spend. you can get triangle tip for a couple bucks or you can get a kamui for around 20. My advice is to try a few of them and see what you like and dont listen to people who say tips are all the same. They're not theres a hardness rating that you follow for how soft or hard the tip is.
Soft: 60-65
Medium:66-75
Medium hard:76-80
Hard:81-85
Extra hard:86 and up
Hope this helps a little bit.
Ps. i play with a triangle, i think its the cheapest tip out there and imo the best. its a hard tip that doesnt lose its shape to easily.

Pros use the same tips we amatuers do, pooluver, but their magic lies in how they use them.
Find yourself a friendly neighborhood cue repair person and ask them their opinion. Ninety-nine and a half out of a hundred are nice folks to work with and will probably have the tip you need. After a little experimentation you'll settle in on one you like.
I personally have used the Everest tip for several years, but might try a Kamui Black just to see what all the hubbub is about.

This is top secret so don't spread it around. There's a guy in New York, goes by the name of," Doyle the Moyle." He won't tell anybody what the material is except that it's some kind of animal skin. Last's a coupla years. Doesn't mushroom. Never miscues. Never have to rough it up. Matter of fact it plays better smooth. It's a pinkish color and doesn't need much chalk. Doyle says it's 37 layers but the layers are so thin you can't really count them
Problem is they cost $172.50. But they're worth it. Every time you win a game you'll give that tip a great big kiss.
Tell you what. He probably won't talk to you so just paypal me the $172.50 and I'll take care of it for you. He gives me a 10 percent spiff.

omg roflmfao totally friggin' classic dude
The story my good friend 12310 has told you is true. The mystery, of course, is how Mr. Doyle obtained his material for the tips in the first place.
I did some checking with the City of New York's Health Department, and they informed me that the good Mr. Doyle was an employee of the Brooklyn Heights Women and Childrens Hospital, but had been terminated not more than three weeks prior to my inquiry.
I contacted the administrator of BHW and CH, and she confirmed that a Mr. Doyle had indeed once worked in the circumscision ward. I asked her if it was a very good job. She said no, not really, it only paid seven dollars an hour plus tips.

The kind that he forgets to chalk?
The question is unanserable without further data.
The answer is somewhat dependent on the game being played.
The answer is highly dependent on the player's preferences.
The answer is moderately dependent on the players stroke.
A power game such as 9-ball might require a harder tip.
A control game such as 14.1 might require a softer tip.
A player with a very deliberate stroke can get away with a harder tip.
A player with a dropping fore-arm will want a softer tip.

So many tips and so much confusion.
25 years ago most everyone used Le Pros and everyone was happy and had one less thing to worry about. I probably put a 100 on for people in the room where I worked part time. Once in a while one would mushroom and 5 minutes on the lath it was good again and usualy stayed good. Every so often one was just horrible and I just replaced it.
So I would advise trying a Triangle(Le Pro quality is not very consistant anymore) see how it works out. Should be about $10 installed by a pro.

Who makes the best tips?
Wow.. 351 views, yet no one has answered the OP as it was phrased. The obvious answer is that by definition, you can assume that pros would make better tips than amateurs.
I'm surprised that you guys missed that. Slackers.....
