Which material is best for my new dab nail?
Titanium
Titanium nails were the earl winners of the dab nail race. They are extremely durable and will literally last a lifetime. You can superheat them to clean between uses, and they retain heat exceptionally well. They have been the workhorse of the concentrate rig industry for many years.
