So far I've only used DPNs. I've been thinking about trying with a set ofcirculars in the Magic Loop method or if I want to invest some more money, the two circulars method.
For my first pair of socks, I used some self-striping sock yarn because I thought it would be entertaining. I'd say that most of the basic sock yarns out there would be good. I've used Online, Regia and Trekking XXL and found them to be very nice for basic socks. They are all about 75% wool and 25% nylon, so they are durable and I didn't find them splitty when knitting.
