I read a interesting thread on another board regarding stinger hooks.
I've always used Gamakatsu Octopus hooks for my stingers.
Some other stinger hooks suggested in the thread were Owner SSW, Owner Mosquito and Gamakatsu Dropshot hooks.
Some good points were made regard using a hook with a straighter eye then the more turned up eye on Gamakatsu Octopus hooks. The main point being the straighter eye puts the hook in a better hooking position. Some of the hooks suggested also have more of a circle hook design to them.
Looking at some of my flies with Octopus hooks and the position the hook sits in on the stinger loop, I tend to agree there might be better options.

I'd like to hear what stinger hooks you like and the reason you use them.
Thanks for your input.
