I need to solder a stacking header to a wifi breakout board.

Which soldering tip is best? Flat/screwdriver, fine/conical, or hoof?

I heard flat screwdriver tips are best for "through-holes", so I'm guessing that's what would apply here?

I like the screwdriver tip but hoof will also work. I use 1/16" or 1.8 mm
