Use whatever tampons or pads you personally prefer.
I recommend against commercial tampons and commercial pads - for example Tampax, Playtex, Kotex, Always, Bodyform - that's because commercial menstrual products contain harmful substances such as dioxin and chemical ingredients that may cause irritation, increase risk of infections, and may have long-term health risks. Commercial tampons are more favourable to bacterial growth and more damaging to vaginal tissues so pose higher risks of Toxic shock syndrome, and commercial pads prevent air-flow so increase risk of vaginal infections.
If you want to use disposable tampons and pads:
Opt for organic cotton brands like Emerita, Cottons, Natracare, Maxim, or Seventh Generation - they're like commercial tampons and pads but made from cotton and free from harmful ingredients.
If you want to use reusable tampons and pads:
Sponge tampons such as Jade & Pearl or Jame Sponge, these are made from natural sponge and moistened before use so more comfortable to use than disposable tampons. Cloth pads such as Lunapads or Gladrags, these are cloth so as comfortable and breathable as your underwear, these keep you far drier and don't gather-up or come loose. Neither have harmful ingredients.

Can you menstrate with tampons and not pads?
No, if you use tampons you still have to use pads - it's not safe to wear tampons before your period or with light flow, and it's not hygienic to use tampons throughout your entire period so you should ideally alternate with pads or at least wear pads at night. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration which increases TSS risks by giving TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into the bloodstream - thus tampons shouldn't be worn without sufficient flow. Tampons encourage bacterial growth and prevent vaginal cleaning, inserting one tampon after another keeps bacteria within the vagina, using pads allows your vagina a chance to clean itself and heal.
