I always use neodymium magnets when I am creating hanging sculptures, because they're so incredibly strong. neodymium magnets are my favorite rare earth magnets. They are both lighter and cheaper than Samarium Cobalt magnets. Rare earth ring magnets are super powerful, very durable, and extremely pretty.

I made a bunch of neodymium magnets hanging sculptures in cool geometric patterns last year, and gave them out as Christmas ornaments. If you are creative, there is a lot you can do with NIBs as a hobby. I even enjoy just having a little pile of unstructured neodymium magnets around, to play with when I am bored. Changing their shapes is endlessly entertaining, and is a great stress reliever, I find.
