What would you rather have, a thick nib or medium or thin?

I was going to make this into a poll but don't know where I can do it, can you please tell me where the button is for it? roflmho.gif

Anyway, I think it wouldn't be better with a poll because there may be quite a few different types of thickness.

All else being equal, thinner nibs are more flexible. Softer nibs (like pure gold ones) need to be thick so that they don't move; or else they will not spring back. Anyway, I find different applications for different nibs.

Also, it seem that one cannot create polls in the Penmanship forum anymore.
