I have always used soft vine charcoal, 1/4" for layout, long dark hair and clothing, 1/8" for facial detail and lighter hair. I have a drawer in my table where I sand my charcoal and collect the dust. I always use i/2 sticks, and rarely use short ones, as I like to keep a long extension on the stick for control and sensitivity. You can't be sensitive with a short little stub.
Thank you for your kind words. I am deeply grateful for the input here. You are very talented.
