Clickies:

If you're only looking at the MX compatible platform, you basically have two options - clickbars and clickjackets. For clickbars, I'd recommend trying Kailh Box switches as others have recommended. I'd recommend whites and pinks as safe choices. For clickjackets, I'd try to avoid these as they tend to be rattly and bad sounding due to their poor design.

If you look outside the MX compatible platform then your choices open up a lot. There are some amazing switch designs out there like beamsprings, buckling springs, Alps, SMK 2nd gen etc. that will frankly make Cherry MX look like a joke.

Tactiles:

The usual recommendations within the MX platform seem to be Boba or Panda clones or Durock T1 etc. They're fine, nothing too impressive or mind-blowing.

Outside the MX platform again, I'd recommend trying Topre, Alps tactile, SMK 2nd gen tactile etc.

Btw, all clicky switches are also tactile. I can't think of any that aren't right now
