Recommendations for single row pin headers

Hello all,

 

While I'm waiting for a few PCBs to show up I'm looking at various single
row 0.1" pitch pin headers. The PCB is a DF0/DF1 switch adapter PCB for an
Amiga. You pull the odd CIA and plug the adapter board in its place and then
the CIA plugs into the adapter.  The pin header will be used to go from
adapter PCB to the socket on the Amiga PCB.

 

I have noticed over the years that some types of pins work much better than
others. What I have on hand is the standard square cut pin which is not
suitable. A lot of folks will use machine pins which seem to work though
I've had some that really don't fit snugly in IC sockets.

 

With the project description out of the way the question is do you all have
a favorite type of header for this purpose? If so would you mind sharing a
part number?

 

Thanks,
