Drum stick tips: plastic vs. wood, which is better?
Some sticks come with a wooden tip
http://www.woodbrass.com/images/woodbrass/ZILDJIAN+7AWN.JPG
Some with a plastic one

And some like this:

I have all three, what are the advantages and disadvantages of them, and their tips in particular?
Please also consider their advantages and disadvantages in regards to different stick sizes and thickness, and also acoustic AND electric kits.
Thanks 
Wood tips give a natural feel and have a great overall result to them.
Nylon tips (Not plastic) give a little more rebound and attack in each hit, but they can damage your drum heads faster than wood tips as well as possibly leave marks on the drum heads, plus the tips wear off.
