This questions is very typical of noobs who are just starting out. It's also posed by Photoshop noobs as well. Brush types are for people who already know how to sculpt. Don't concern yourself with such questions. It's like someone asking what's better, Ibanez or Gibson? Neither if you don't even know how to play.

simple, ibanez for lead, gibson for rhythm

>FlippedNormals say the best is to
it's called preference and workflow. anyone who says there is a "best" way to do anything just simply doesnt know how work any other way. just like artists in real life have different ways of painting and sculpting, there is no best way to do something, you just gotta try different things and find out which ways works for you

I'm not a noob, been there for months. In so far this is my input
>No Alpha works very fast, and thus its easier to fuck things up, hard to build face planes with this, but great for unified masses like in large muscles
> Alpha 28 is very precise but also takes 50x times more to work with, I've found it useful for teeth, creating sharp planes etc
> Alpha 06 I haven't really tried it
But anyway, I just want to know what's the CORRECT way to approach this, just to make double sure I'm not learning bad habits.

You are a noob. How can you not be when you flat out explained to everyone your lack of experience in using tools?

it really depends on ur art style, theres no choice, i alternate between square and no alpha

circle
look up some people hosein diba or grassetti, they use circle, me too
reason is that if you use square then you have to smooth over it and it wastes time, i use square sometimes to make noise, but if i know how a form is to look i use circle
no alpa is a bit too soft, makes establishing planes bit harder which also wastes your time

with not alpha is for when you are finishing as its gives a really subtle sculpt, for prototyping you use with alpha 28 because you are looking for happy accidents.
In reality you will probably be fine whatever you chose.

I like the square alpha (default).
The z dimension is my favorite dimension utilizing zbrush's unique 2.5D virtual 3d that provides your computer screen with a pseudo dimension that extends (that's right) into your screen allowing you to manipulate pseudo 3d objects in a pseudo 3d envoronment.
When the devs realized the potential of the z dimension in modern day CG graphics it, they realized they had struck digital gold and it elevated elevated zbrush from a mere kids toy to one of the leading industry standard softwares today.
The original kid's toy implementation of the z dimension involves dragging pseudo 3d shapes over a 2D canvas to create a canvas with the appearance of 3d shapes protruding from it.
To this day the developers of zbrush remain adamant that the kid's toy implementation is the most important use case for the 2.5D z dimension technology so much so that they never bothered to update the kid's toy user interface to something more befitting of a industry standard software. For this reason also the default initialization mode of zbrush is the kid's toy implementation when zbrush starts is the kid's toy implementation providing you with the revolutionary kid's toy 2.5D canvas as soon as you launch the software. If you want to do real 3D work you have to switch from kid's toy mode over to polymesh 3D and use the kid's toy interface to do so.
As of yet I have still to witness anybody using the kid's toy canvas for any real world applications.

not sure if it's worth the acquisition, but now that Maxon will own it, ZBrush may have its UI changed into something closer to Blender, like they did with Cinema4D
