I'd say that the size of the typeface is also a factor. I'm using a nylon ribbon with a Royal 10 with Elite typeface (and new platen), and the roughness of the texture is even more noticeable with the small characters. For that reason I will be replacing it with a cotton ribbon.
In terms of boldness Cotton does better than Nylon. In terms of durability Nylon lasts a lot longer than Cotton. In terms of clarity, Nylon does it better than Cotton.

Wise! It's a preference. The hardness of the rubber also play a big role and Royal is notorious for cement platens.
What about silk ribbon?
bro, a question, where did you get the spools of specified diameter ?
And then there is silk, its inkiness will last twice as long as cotton.
Yes. Unfortunately the cost is prohibitive.
Hello! Do you sell typewriters?
I do! But I don't offer shipping.

I'd say the same.
