Rubberized nets are the best imo.

Also, you want the biggest net that is manageable for your use/situation. Largest basket and longest handle.

This is the cheapo net from the fly shop at basspro. It started falling apart after a couple uses, but is still going strong after some fixin

X2, a ghost net seems to keep fish quieter as they can see through it and it doesn't take the protective slime off the body. Nice for those frisky fish that don't behave. Also doesn't snag flies on it.
