Annealing torch?

I've got a Bench Source annealer coming and I'm wondering if there's a specific torch that's recommended? I have one tip that came with a bottle. It's the pencil torch from Bernzomatic. Should I just get another one of these or two other tips? Thanks!

From the Bench Source site


<span style="color: #3333FF">(NOTE: When placing the nozzles into the clamps, ensure that you do not cover up the
inlet holes at the base of the nozzle. This will make them burn lean and possibly
overheat the nozzles and Clamp Assemblies.)

What we have most often used is a pair of kits from ‘Bernz-O-Matic’®. The Torch Kit Part
Number is #UL100 and comes with one propane tank & one torch. Cost is about $11.00 per set
from your local hardware store. If you would like to purchase the torches separately, the Part
Number is #UL2317.</span>

This is exactly what I used as it fits perfectly with the designed ad supplied clamps.
