Which type of cue and tip is best for high-powered shooting?

Just a hypothetical question: if I wanted to buy a (preferably cheap) cue which would help me reliably perform shots which are both high-powered and reasonably accurate, what should I be looking for? What kind of characteristics are advisable: length, weight, material, ferrule...? I'm not talking about a break cue, but an actual playing cue for both breaking and shooting strong when I need it throughout the game. You can name specific models if you feel like it, but simple characteristics would be enough. Regarding the tip, is there any type which can regularly sustain high-powered shots without wearing out too soon, and also kinda "stick" to the CB to reduce occasional miscuing? Again, specific names are ok, but I'm primarily looking for general type and characteristics. Thanks.
