Any straight/Bristow type barrel is what a lot of folk started on and for me a simple designed dart as such settles me down when needed.
What was the first type of dart you threw well with Dan?

I think a lot of recommendations would hinge on what type dart design you are most comfortable with, or familiar with. Dart design, weight, stem length, flight shape and material all go into factoring how darts will work for any individual.
I could tell you what works for me, but it may be all wrong for you, and like already mentioned, a simple straight barrel dart with your stems and flights may be a good place to start. Straight barrel darts are the most common out there, so there must be a reason for that.

I must be put together in some weird fashion. For me it was exactly the opposite. When I started struggling real bad with my regular darts — fairly straight barrels with a scallop — I switched to a torpedo shaped Harrows Ice for a few days and started throwing A1 sessions until things settles down. The switch forced me to concentrate more on my throw mechanics since they flew differently.
