Dice are an integral part of the D&D experience.
My favorite dice are a set of Smoke Crystal and Sapphire Crystal Gamescience dice. I've had them since the 1980's and they always seem to roll well.
I also use some Chessex (now available at Wal-Mart...), and Wiz Dice
Chessex makes some nice dice, but GameScience are more consistent and just seem (to me) to roll a bit better (i.e. more "randomy"). My "Carry Dice" (the once that are always in my backpack just in case a spontaneous RPG breaks out) are Ivory Chessex, and they roll fine.
My experience with the Wiz Dice has also been very good. They are my "Work Dice" (I keep a set at work for rolling stuff during lunch to stay sane-ish). It seems like they are on line with Chessex, and I like them about the same.
I also have some aluminum D6's, and they roll fine, but I dislike them in winter (they are cold as [fork]!)
Both Wiz Dice and Chessex are made in China, while Gamescience are made buy a guy in the U.S. Another reason why I like GameScience; it's not a big company, it's just a dude with a passion. And haven't we all dreamed of making RPG dice for a living?
