I would recommend MusicMedic tenon corks. They're like a buck a piece and are pretty decent. Quality control is lackluster, but MM is pretty good at replacing poor materials.
I've been using their corks for years now and have had great results.
My major recommendation, which I learned from Phil, is to wrap the corks in teflon plumber's tape (a buck or so at a hardware store). This keeps things clean (NO cork grease) and is a really effective way at getting the corks to slid right in to the joint.
