I went with a tie on nock on the Martin I've been shooting. Only problem was it started to come loose, so I super glued it, and got a little sloppy and it's now part of the serving [:@] Not really hand for adjusting, but at least I got it in the right spot and arrow flight is good.
I'm thinking of going with brass nock sets on the bear, maybe one above and below the nock. Any benefit to doing this? I'm thinking it will give good adjustability as the string settles in. Maybe down the road I can use tie ons to lighten things up.
Just curious what others are using and why.

Have a single brass nockset on my selfbow, one over and one under tied on my longbow. Plan to remove the one under on my longbow--cost me a shot at a fox earlier this season. I was trying to keep my eye on the fox (I was inside a blind, and the sun was going down--afraid I'd loose it if I looked away) and I couldn't get the arrow on the string (in the right spot) fast enough. I haven't been able to see any difference in my shooting with brass or tied on; or one or two nock points. Haven't had any problems with a brass nock wearing on my gloves either--I think that is due to the type nocking pliers--some won't crimp it on properly.

I use a a piece of of serving not larger then the diameter of the string serving on the string. It'll stay in plave and can be adjusted easily by twising the it (with the bow strung). A lot of others use dental floss, but I don't care for it.

i use about 2 feet or more of sewing thread(thin/fine)....just start by tying an overhand knot and start wraping the thread around the string...after about 15 times around i measure again with a bow squareto make sure its in the correct spot(continue wraping back and forth over itself to make it about the size of asmall brass nock....
i wax the bowstring heavy in the spot before i start and wax over thenock real good half way throu, and when im done...it wont move...and if you feel like moving it after you shoot a bit you can peel the end up and unwrap move and rewrap.....
ive always used this method and it doesnt move on me...all i have to do is keep wax on it(i use the natural wax(red cap)...i like it better than the synthetic(green cap)....if u want dab avery small amout of cement on it after your done and your sure you have it in the right spot..
brass works too but if you have some thread use it...its easy, doesnt cost anything if you have some already, just make sure you measure with a Bow square...more than once because ive started and finished and then measured and realized it wasnt where i wanted because i wrapped the threadto much on the wrong sideof where i started....so i had to unravel most of the way and then rewrapand rewax.

What are you using for a nocking point?
