i suggest always go with a bong when buying an item. i find that i get higher from smaller amounts so it saves you money when buying the good ol erb. you could also easily make a bowl out of household items like nuts and tinfoil or the cable pieces at the end of a cable connection

get a glass one, make sure it has a carb. preferably the kind that changes colors the more you use it (that shit is trippy). and make sure its durable

Hey man,
 
To Me it all depends on what your buying it for.  If u need something mobile like to use in your car, walking around or need to hide it from parents or such then go with a pipe.  Its easy just to put in your pocket and is very handy.  If u are looking for a piece that u can just leave at your house then get a bong They are nice to have but big and u need to have a place to put it.  Bong or pipe u save weed rather than doin a blunt or joint.  I perfer a pipe since it can be used anywhere.  Goodluck let us know how it goes,

  yeah the color changing stuff gives off a lot of toxins when heated
   bad stuff man

Small pyrex glass pipe without a large cavity inside because it tends to make it fragile.  Carb and dome shaped bowl are essential.

Find a glass pipe that is thick as fuck.  I always go for durability over looks.  That's why I have a sweet stone pipe.  Or, you could also get a tiny bong if you need transportability and discreetness.  I have a clear glass one that's shorter than a 20 oz bottle.  It was only $20.

inside out glass adds to it's strength, maybe you should look into that so there's less chance of it breaking/chipping.

Hey, harmonicminor - where did you find info about the toxin from glass that changes color?  I got my first glass one earlier this year, and noticed the color changes, but wasn't aware of the toxins.  If this is legit, I'll go replace it with a clear one.  Thanks!

The colour changing is from precious metals that have been fumed into the glass structure, they're not toxins.

just get a nice thick one with a big, deep chamber and try and get a long one over a short one.

if you're really worried about durability.. just go with a metal one. pros: they're gonna survive a drop pretty much no matter what, they get mad resin, they have covers sometimes, cheaper, you wont have to worry about scratching glass when you scrape out resin. cons: they get HOT AS FUCK, which is a total pain in the ass and a buzzkill, and they're not as pretty as glass pieces.
glass pieces are pretty expensive around here if you're lookin for anything that looks like its thick at all.. personally i hate metal pieces, and own three glass ones =P

Lizard's right. Metal has its advantages. But it can get hot and I find the taste isn't as nice. Go with glass for a nice, cleaner smoke and drop a bit more coin if you want to make up some durability. You could also go with stone or wood. But glass is nice, no doubt.
