There's too many now to list here. I'd suggest lePro, Tiger, Kamui, and Triangle medium-hard at first.

It'll give you a baseline to work off. Of the ones above, I've liked Triangle/LePro as a good budget tip. Kamui or Moori are better as softer tips; never liked them that much harder than medium.

I used to use a supersoft kamui, which is really grabby, but it can make table-length shots a bit of a surprise. So I'd go medium or so and once you get your stroke figured out, if you feel like the tip isn't grabby enough, try a medium-soft or straight soft or whatever.

My typical bar table tip was usually a Triangle/Tiger. Decent durability and consistency.

Here's a link to a good list of tips:
