Harm Reduction What is the best needle to shoot heroin / coke with

First, I would advice against starting to shoot up. IV'ing drugs is a whole different ball game than snorting, eating, plugging, or even smoking them.
Heroin works great if you plug it (put it into a solution and taking it up the butt). It works almost aswell as IV when taken in that route. You can also snort it, which will give you a nice high even if you have a little bit of a tolerance. This all applies to cocaine as well. Although, I honestly don't know much about plugging cocaine and whether it is a good way of using the drug, so someone who knows cocaine better than I do may chime in here.

Injecting heroin or cocaine into your body is very serious and I really advice against it. So try to use other routes of administration first.

However, if you are intent on doing it no matter what I or others say then do it the safe way. I'd personally use a 1cc 28g syringe and use very, very small amounts of the drug. Make sure everything is sterile (use hand sanitizer to make sure your hands are clean) and if you have a micron filter, use it! Be very careful and make sure a trusted friend is with you or something. Again, I really advice against shooting up, but if you must - be safe and be careful.

Excluding the tech speak about needles (which i know nothing about) i couldnt have said it better myself!
 
smaller the better, less damage, less pain, 29g is max i'd use. prefer smaller tho, but my needle exchange (in uk) doesn't do 30/31g
