Like Forged, I have never had any problems with the sturdiness of my Samsung pens, but I imagine this has to do with the drawing style each one has. I've been using them for the last 4 years in a daily basis and, so far, the only breaks I have had have been when they have fallen to the floor.
I always use felt nibs from Wacom (ACK22213), and the HP ZBook X2 replacement ones. I don't have compatibility issues with de ZBook's, but the Wacom's, I don't know why, don't work with my Samsung S-pen styluses because I get unwanted inputs when the pen is just hovering above the screen. The ZBook X2 nibs are currently impossible to get in Europe, and since I have few, I only use them on my S-Pens. And I use the Wacom's, which have been easily available so far in Europe, on the rest of the pens I own; the Wacom One 1st generation (DTC133), the Lamy AL Start, and the HP ZBook X2 ones.
I have also tried the Boox/Remarkable Marker tips (I cannot distinguish between them), which are black, as opposed to the Wacom and the ZBook felt nibs, which are a yellowish white. They work well, but they easily scratch the matte screen protector that I always use (not only to improve the drawing experience but also to protect the screen surface from accidental scratches). This is why I do not recommend them.
