Rubber is a nice safe choice.
I'd rather have the plastic pop up, than shatter during a direct strike.

Quoted from Dayhuff:Why not just do it once with the nylon ones and be done with it forever? Besides who's got time to shop out game "annually"? I know I don't.

Because the plastic shatters with the nylon or steel ones.
If your rubbers are dry rotted or discolored, you game is not playing at it's full potential
Quoted from cody_chunn:Here is probably a good a place as any to mention that installing appropriately sized fender washers under the head of post screws (not over the head contacting the plastic) will prevent the ball from striking from underneath and supports the plastic from below if the ball strikes it from above.
Exactly.
Make sure that the clear fender washers are UNDER the nut formed to the shaft, so that any ball strike energy is directed to the shaft, not the plastic above.
