If I could only use one type of knitting needle, I'd choose bamboo. I got some for Christmas and my Birthday. My Mom got me a set of size 3 straight needles and size 9 circular needles, and my Grandma got me two sets of size 3 dpns. I like using bamboo needles because they keep nubby yarns from slipping off my needles all the time. Other pros are:
* They don't get cold like aluminum needles
* They're lighter weight
* They're easier to hold
* They aren't as noisy as aluminum needles can be
So although they cost a bit more, the price is worth it.
