Air type

Stock Tippmann's work fine on CO2 although there will be velocity fluctuations as a result of environmental conditions and rates of fire.  Compressed air provides better consistency with almost any marker but in Tippmann's tends to get fewer shots for a comparably sized tank when compared to CO2.  I don't know anyone who uses/fills nitrogen anymore.

Depends on who you purchase from.  I get CO2 for 20 cents/oz and compressed air for about $1/1000 psi no matter the tank size.  There are also different prices in different situations such as $5 for all day air or special deals on filling scubas.

You seem to be new so I would suggest running with an inexpensive CO2 tank for a while until you are sure you like the sport before investing in anything more expensive.

^^^ Correction:  N2 =/= compressed air.  While N2 (Nitrogen) is approximately 80% of the Earth's atmosphere there are numerous other gasses included in it as well.  All of these gasses are compressed along with the nitrogen to fill compressed air tanks.
