I have two #2 MT centers for my small lathe, one is hard, one is not hard, neither one is marked with the ring.

I trust the twins more than most folks, especially lately.
Whatever is handy will work.
Softer is better as it will allow the work to grab it a bit.
Tailstock end needs to be live with a bearing or very hard with Grease.
Does not need to be marked, just toss it in when needed and give it a skim cut and it will be perfect every time.
