Bottle Nipples...Update...FOUND IT!

I swore I read an article or something about the types of nipples to buy for babies depending on age and such but now I can't find anything on it. Does anyone have any info or any advice on what to buy/register for?

Here's the info:
Nipples. The bottle you choose is important. But sometimes it's the nipple, rather than the bottle, that makes all the difference to your baby. Nipples are sold separately from bottles or included as part of a starter kit. Many are compatible with different brands of bottles. For example, you can use Evenflo nipples on Gerber bottles, which gives you lots of mixing and matching opportunities. The major nipple brands are Avent, Dr. Brown's, Evenflo, Gerber, Munchkin, and Playtex. Made of latex or silicone, nipples come in several shapes: the traditional "natural" bell, or dome shape, a slightly bulbous "orthodontic" design, or a flattened shape just for disposable bottles. Nipples also typically come in three different flow variations with different-size holes appropriate for your baby's age: slow flow (for babies 0 to 3 months), medium flow (for newborn to 12 months), and fast flow (for babies over 3 months). Dr. Brown's also makes a Preemie Flow nipple for feeding babies born prematurely.

And here is the whole article:

Re: Doh!!! I cant remember about bottle nipples

I was told to register for the clear ones that have the angled tip (if that makes any sense).

I was told that the orange/tan colored ones will peel with time and get a funky taste.
