For me it's the easiest to use the metal metallic straight needles but when it comes to circular needles I'd probably prefer wooden ones. Hope this helps! ---- i definitely think that bamboo are the best needles. they are light weight which is great because they don't fall and drop stitches very often and they are soft so they don't hurt your fingers when you push on the tip, also they are a little bit textured so stitches don't slip off like they do with metal needles. and as for straight or round needles if you're making something tubular like a hat, socks, mittens, round needles are easier to use, but if you're making a scarf or a bag straight needles are better. but I much prefer round needles, because you don't have to keep switching hands, you can just keep on knitting. and if you use only the knit stitch you will get a pretty stockinette stitch, but if you use only the knit stitch on straight needles you will come out with garter stitch.
