I had heard loree ak were good but have not tried them. I really like the quality and live sound I am getting with the pisoni silver deluxe 47mm staples, I use a Mack plus tip. I used the Steven for the last few years, guess I should have purchased more of them. I got the idea of Pisoni staples from Eugene Isotovs page:

In his description:
PISONI “Deluxe” model, silver, 47 mm. (available from various vendors): I find them well-made, consistent and I like the size of the opening - with a Gilbert 1 shaped cane tied at 72.5-73 mm, the reeds are wide enough at the bottom, seal very well and have a generous opening. There are numerous theories about the pros and cons of brass vs. silver. I clearly prefer silver, but my advice is to try both and see what works best for you.

For those of you who have not heard the amazing Mr. Isotovs play:
