For me its all about the bristle worms. If I touch one of those ugly little guys I get this burnt flesh, paper-cut, mosquito bite feeling in that area for a full day. However I have an allergy to bee stings so I think I'm especially susceptible to these sorts of irritations, stings and venoms.
My favorite are blue nitrile gloves which I buy at Costco $10 for 100. The arm length coralife gloves are alright for protecting against stings too but I find that they develop leaks in no time. Farm supply calving gloves are suppose to be good too but I haven't bought a pair yet so I cant comment.
... If I ever suddenly disappear from canreef its because I accidentally pet my lionfish and didn't make it to the hospital in time.
