The most common type of trombone today is the Bb teneor trombone. However my bandmates always mistakenly/purposely use C tenor trombone scores... Either they really don't know that they are wrong or they just do not want to play one note higher.
Conn tenor trombones are the best I have seen. I've heard rumours about Bach trombones having a huge lot of resistance.

I'm a bit confused by what you mean by C tenor trombone scores...
Trombones are generally written in concert pitch, or more rarely Bb treble. Is this something they do differently in Singapore?
Last time I was there, I got to play with a group at the National University of Singapore and everything we played was standard bass clef concert pitch.
Are you referring to tenor clef? If so , why is that a mistake? I read tenor quite regularly in the group I play with. I also read quite a bit of alto.

If you are just starting out a Tenor trombone will probably be best.
But if you have a bit of experience or even if your just new, a Tenor-Bass trombone, a Bb with an F attachment, will probably be best. try a yamaha James Morisson trombone, this is what i play, for the time being. its a great student trombone and has lasted me a few years, although i am currently upgrading to an Edwards.

Just because a trombone has an F-attachment, that does not make it a bass trombone. Also, there is no "Tenor-bass trombone". Just correcting the terminology as to avoid confusion.

If a trombone has a .547 bore, valve or not, it is most commonly referred to as a large-bore tenor trombone, for example.

Tenor B flat trombone is the most seen one .
But I think buying a trombone with trigger is better
all trombone scores ought to be in concert pitch
