I pretty much just use bucktail hair or feathers, but different plugs have different tails depending on how the it fishes best for me. Most of the time they get a flag of some sort whether a light wire or cut-off siwash when - it comes down to balancing the plug. A few swim best naked but I generally tie the tails sparsely to add visual appeal without limiting the swim.
