These are the edges I use for lacemaking demonstrations.

A simple ring and chain -- simple split ring edges.

This edge is not difficult, once you get the pattern going.

And colorful!

I find the wooden edge keepers keep my tatting from tangling up.  I tend to tat a little bit here and there, so nice to tuck in a bag and carry along.
