I'll tickle barefeet, but prefer Nylons ;-)
I much rather the nylons! Outside of the fact that I'm a certified (well, certifiable, anyway) Nylon lover, it seems to me that nylons (not heavy denier tights, but sheer nylon) Augment the ticklishness.
- They are ALWAYS smooth, no need for creams or oils.
- They virtually eliminate any accidental scratching.
- Pressing your finger on her bare foot, your contact area is limited to your fingertip. The nylon gives more contact area, not to mention...
- ... The fabric adds it's own "pattern" to your touch.
- While the bottoms of feet may vary by the 'lee, in >every< personal experience, nylon had enhanced the ticklishness of the tops of her feet.
- They're just so darn sexy!
Remember, there is nothing to stop you from removing or ripping the nylons during the tickling ;-)
As for the creams and oils... Try taking those nylon clad feet and slicking them up with some warm soapy water!
Having been primarily a 'ler (and only occasionally a 'lee, for her "revenge") I know my wife is more ticklish in nylon. I have been on the recieving end a few times (and yes i look like a dork in pantyhose, but it sure was fun ;-) ), and i can personally attest to the nylon making it more ticklish. I'm not even really ticklish, but even i could not resist against the deadly combo of soapy wet nylons and a plastic hairbrush. (probably one of the few ways you can even come close to tickling yourself)
Interesting poll, and I could see where the numbers for barefeet would be higher. But for me, it's just gotta be nylons.

I'm a nylon foot tickler, that might make me biased
