I use to be a medic so I have a few boxes of gloves. I use the thick blue ones. Don't rememebr the name though. They don't stretch over your head very well for silly drinking pics. But that didn't stop my brothers from trying...mental.

I use the pink ones from the grocery store and they are so annoying
I use the yellow ones for dishwashing but I find them awkward to work in.
Stacey - Do you mean the nitrile gloves? I never thought about using those type of gloves. What a good idea!

I get an industrial kind at the Dollar Store. They eventually wear out, but for $1 I don't mind so much.

When working with lye directly and washin - the yellow dishwashing gloves (yes they are saggy)
When doing my oils and soaping - Vinyl
Once I was doing my lye with the thin vinyl and got a bead or two from the lip of the cointainer on the glove and a drop of water HOLY COW was it hot! So be careful even with gloves.

I use the yellow playtex gloves (or whatever brand is on sale) but only for the lye part & for clean up. When I'm mixing oils, stick blending and pouring into the molds I take the gloves off.
I wear glasses so that's my eye protection for the most part, but I know it's not the best as stuff can splatter under/over/on the side of the rims. My husband has some safety glasses that I sometimes steal when I have my contacts in.
