I've always used a plastic bobbin for a drop in bobbin. If the machine has a metal bobbin case and usually goes underneith the throat plate I use a spoked metal bobbin.
Does it matter?

I was helping a new sewer at quilting one time and she was having a terrible time with her tension and I discovered she was using a mix of bobbins. When she used the bobbins that were meant for her machine she didn't have any problems at all.
