thats kind of a personal issue- you need a fin thats good for sculling, frog kicking (when you watch over divers mid-swimming or while performing basic exercises) but it needs to be fast so you could help students quickly.
The fins you usually dive with.
Can't imagine why anyone would consider using anything else.
I use a pair of fins that are available for purchase in the shop. This way when I get the consent question of well would you use these fins when they are getting ready to purchase I can give a experienced answer of how they perform.
I always use a bright colored set of fins as an instructor, normally neon yellow. It allows students to see you quicker in lower viz and the color doesnt bleed out at depth.

I have always used Mares Quattro's, they give good power and performance, and can be used with different finning techniques. Also consider a fin that you could also sell easily to your students.
