NUK teats - classic neck or first choice??

I'm a bit confused on the choice of teats available. My LO (3mths old) is bf-ed and has been having occasional ebm in the medula bottle that came with the electric pump, but doesn't really drink that well from them.
I've been told the NUK ones are good, but what would people recommend? The classic neck or first choice? Silicone or latex?
Thanks

We used the wide neck bottles (easier to clean) which I think is First Choice. We had the latex teats as I think they're supposed to be softer. They did change colour when we sterilised them from that translucent latex yellow to a more opaque pale yellow but that's not a problem. They suited us but unfortunately we switched to bottle feeding quite young so I don't have experience of moving an older baby from breast to bottle. I used to buy online from the NUK UK store.

I did read somewhere that it can help to look at your own nipples and choose a teat design that is similar - whether your own are wide and flat or more sticky outie!
