Nipple Waterer Suggestions

About to hook up our waterers in the barn now that I hope we are past hard freezes.

Last year I added a couple new pens with nipple waterers. Seemed like no matter what I did, I could not get those nipples to stop dripping. I swapped out a number of different nipples and they all leaked. The nipples weren't seating tight enough to shut off the water, so we would have a huge mess if we didn't have a small catch pan under them.

Looking for advice on brand of waterers that seem to work best?

Have you thought about using a gravity system so there is less water pressure going into the nipples?
