[sdiy] Another "which chip" question

[J. Larry Hendry]

I'm planning some simple clock circuits with 555 and the dual version 556
chips.  I seem to recall some discussion here about one version of the 555
being a rather nasty player.  Someone care to recommend a particular one of
the many variations of these puppies?  Or, something I should stay away
from?  I'm using +/- 15 VDC supply.  So, most any Vcc is OK.

Thanks
