Okay, one of the hardest parts for me is getting a good font, so I could use some advice. Currently the only thing I use is Photobucket or ImiKimi and both have pretty garbage fonts with no opacity settings. What do you guys use?

The basic fonts in Photoshop work really well for Tags. I mainly use those, all though I have a couple fonts that can be found on dafont.com

Meh, I almost always use a plain 'ol sans-serif font. Mainly because I'm too much of a novice to incorporate anything more. XD

I like Birth of a Hero. Not that I experiment with fonts terribly much. I always try the default ones and the ones I've already downloaded first.

Edit: The two "Visitor" fonts - I don't remember if they are default or I downloaded them - work very well in most situations. They are just blocks, really. Its used in my current Saphira sig.

Birth of a Hero I have used several times before, nice grungey font.

I mainly use Century Gothic for my text though. I do have a fair few dafont ones, like Print Clearly, which is one of my favourites. Like I said though, Century Gothic is a font that I swear by.

Print Clearly is my favorite. There's a lot of uses for it. I also really like Trashco, but it's hard to find anywhere to use it. I don't think I ever have, I've just looked at it and been amazed. For script, I use either Jane Austen or Scriptina, and for layouts and stuff that needs a really unique font, I really like Impact Label, or Pointy. When I need handwritten font, I'll almost always use Complete In Him. That one is also really fun for the cute things that you can get for making some of the keyboard symbols. I don't remember the others, but I know that the ^ makes a heart with that font.
