Try to avoid the thoriated kind altogether if possible.
Thoriated ones are favoured for welding due to capacity for higher currents, but plain tungsten ones do exist.

Re: How to make a Tungsten stylus
A note on safety, many tungsten electrodes are thoriated.
Commerical tungsten sharpeners (used for putting a fine point on the tungsten to weld) will collect the dust to stop you breathing it in.
