It depends on the type of rim. If you have single-wall rims like below, I prefer Velox cloth tape that is narrow enough to fit the lower channel. Usually that's the 10mm wide size:



For a double-wall rim with this type of profile, I prefer very thin tape that is wide enough to span the whole bottom. Tubeless tape is great, but you can buy the same thing cheaper in generic form:
