I have

4 different Brannen X tips
Two different Mack Pfeiffer Tips
Joshua +2
Caleb -1
Weber 1-b
Weber 1-c
RDG 2

This past week I've scraped 35 reeds on the Weber 1-B, Weber 1-C, Joshua +2, and Caleb -1, and still, for me my best results come from the Weber 1-B and the Caleb -1. Weber 1-B gives me big project and maximum flexibility. Caleb -1 gives me stability, roundness (i.e. capability to blend), and sheer volume.

My next shaper tips will be the Hubbard Z and de Lancie, both from BBoard member Bob Hubbard of Westwind Shaper tips, for the same reasons I like the Weber 1-C and the Caleb. The Hubbard Z was a really nice balance of projection and blend, and the de Lancie had a nice roundness and fullness to it.
