Some would debate that.
Myself, I like the buckling spring boards, although they do tend to have high actuation force. That said, my Unicomp board is lighter than my Model Ms.
Cherry MX blue is a good starter board for clicky+tactile boards, it's not too loud (certainly gonna be quieter than this Dell rubber dome I'm stuck on - granted, that's because this whole keyboard is warped, and it's rattling against the desk...) However, the click event isn't directly connected to the transmission of the character.
If you think you'll like softer boards, Cherry MX brown (or clear, if you like higher force) is a good bet.
