Each has their own tone. My favourite is the real bottleneck which is both sweet and ballsey but I also like the two metal slides when I want something a little rawer. For what you're describing I'd suggest a brass slide with a bit of weight to it.
For the last part of this vid from 8:27 I was using the brass slide.
I'd recommend picking up the glass version if you are looking to use it primarily with electric guitar (I prefer glass for electric, brass for acoustic)
I really like these as they're a bit heavier than most metal or glass slides I've tried - http://www.starsingerslides.com/
Whatever material you choose - make sure it's a decent weight. Thin/light slides of any type sound awful.

And for glass, these are unbeatable:

You will buy loads though like @zepp76 says, although he only has 7 so he's not really started yet
The only bought slide I use is a Joe Perry Boneyard ceramic slide. It's huge, but light & comfortable. Sounds great too.
