Type D all the way, preach it brother! We shouldn't even be mentioning Type B's and C's in this discussion; the inclusion of those second-rates is borderline ridiculous. They simply don't compare to A and D. Ideally, get an A and a D, one of each, and you can't go wrong!
FYI, the (A,B,C,D) designation is just arbitrary. It's what the owner of cube4you calls each of the four manufacturers who supply him with cubes. So that means he has at least four different suppliers for 3x3 cubes.
On a tangential note, Type D cubes have been reported to be very similar to cubes widely sold in the Philippines (previously they called it the "Unknown DIY"); it also resembles the Joy Cube sold in S. Korea.
I have a D, GET A TYPE D!!! IMO they are better than A's. But you will need to change the core to a type A core (Trust me, the ones that they have suck) thaey don't go tight eneough for my feel, mines almost as my store bought (just a little looser to cut corners). Also Fanwuq (this is gonna seem random) but I've been having a comp with you under your nose an finally I am ahead, with my new TYPE D CUBE I managed to get a 15.97 and an avg. of 5 with a time of 22.55.

15.97 single? is that lucky? I can't turn fast enough for that on a normal solve.
I did get several 22 or so averages, but everytime, I end up accidentally clicking backspace and everything is deleted.
My cube is also not as good as a few days ago. The silicone I applied at DC open is wearing off. I've none myself. So now I'm using pretty much an unlubed cube. It locks up a bit more than when it was lubed.
I will get lube and get faster. I'm still faster at OH, (not on cubemania, but Jnet at home, I've gotten solves in the 30's) I'll try to get a sub-45 average OH today on cubemania.
So do the designations a-d have something to do with the core mechanism? Or the cubies or something? The materials used?
I just ordered a white a cube on cube4you and some stickers from cubesmith. I was getting sick of buying a cube from toys R us every month (the stickers always fall off) and had no idea there were better quality cubes out there! Glad I found you guys.
