Default Best replacement nipple for Deerstalker?

I was just wondering what you guys feel is the best replacement nipples for my Lyman Deerstalker .54? I have heard that the original is not the best. I will need this gun to be as reliable as possible. Also, do I go musket cap, or stay with #11? Whats the best place to buy them online? I hope to find a source of BP, but might have to stick with the RS I have. Thanks for any ideas.

RMC Sports sell replacement stainless steel nipples for the Lyman. They are very good quality nipples. A #11 should work fine if you have a good cap.

I also need a good nipple wrench that will work on my Deerstalker. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.
