I'd start by looking at the available tips from the manufacturer of the iron you are using. They usually have a selection of specialty tips in their catalog either online or in print.

We have been evaluating different solder irons and have narrowed it down to Weller and JBC. Does any one have JBC units and comments about them? This was the first time I have ever heard of JBC solder equipment

Does anyone have opinions on the newer line of Weller soldering irons? We were thinking of buying some WX2020s.

I would recommend not to mix leaded irons to do non-leaded rework. Especially, if you are working on ROHS compliance project that will create contamination. Weller and Hakko still have tips for leaded soldering tips, you can chechk on their web sites

I have looked at the JBC irons several months ago, and we will be getting a few of them for the people that do rework all day long, but for the general user around here all they are doing is touch-up and 500 bucks for an Iron for 50 people is a littl
