Anything Weller, the WP35 watt pencil model is great http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=372-112 gets plenty hot and has alot of mass to the tip, so it can solder speakers very well, as well as pcb stuff, just dont' let it sit on the pcb's forever. If you use low temp solder just make sure you keep the tip clean(clean it everytime the solder starts changing colors, if it's not shiny while hot it's not good with any solder), I've soldered alot of stuff with mine and I am still on the first tip. Key to tips lasting is keeping them clean and "tinning" them with solder after cleaning(keeps oxides off which is what causes the tips to go bad and heat like poo), they'll last a LONG time.
