Need desoldering tip recommendations

I have the Hakko 808.

What tip would be best to use for sockets?

Would you recommend any other tips for board repairs?

I've had good luck with the tip that comes stock on the 808. 1.0mm I think?
I've removed IC's and sockets on Midway boards, Atari boards, and others I can't remember with no problems at all.
I have a 0.8mm tip that I haven't tried yet. I have that for smaller stuff like caps on a PC motherboard, etc.
 
For .156 pins and removing flybacks, I use the 2.3mm tip.

For everything else, I use the stock 1mm tip.
