The real pro-tip is not to use tape at all. Instead use pipe dope or joint compound, it's cheap, easy, and better in every possible way. If you only have two do one or two very low importance joints, like a showerhead then tape is fine. But for anything serious use the joint compound. If you are doing a lot of work it's absolutely a game changer.
