What's the Best Stylus for 3DS/DS Emulation?

3DS and DS emulation seems to be making a resurgence this year, thanks to the release of multiple dual-screen handhelds. Let's take a look at some stylus options for them.

It is of similar size to a DS stylus, made of aluminum (with a nice heft), and has a very responsive disc tip that feels great.
