The usual square pin ones are great, and fine on a breadboard, but the pins are slightly too large to fit into an IC socket, so they're not so good for this application. I'd like something that would allow me to pull a 40-pin DIP uP out of its socket and stick a replacement daughter board in instead.

I've used Samtec's TS series. Unlikely to be the cheapest option,
but Samtec's quality is utterly dependable.

E.g.:
