What are your favorite nibs?
I use the Speedball B6 nib for standard lettering and the B5 and B3 nib for larger, bold type. I use a Nikko G pen nib for most line drawing. Sometimes, I use a vintage Esterbrook 914 radio pen nib. I use a Kakimori glass nib to outline speech bubbles and boxes. My favorite nib holders are made by Kakimori.
